Good Grief?!

 

Life is full of grief. Major illness. Natural disasters. Fire. Crime. War. Death. Each of these is a source of grief. So much more in life too causes grief like arguments, bad report cards, unexpected car repairs. So what do I mean by good grief? Does good grief exist is the question! By good grief I mean grief that you know is but for a moment to end in joy when the fullness of time has expired. Good grief is a temporary suffering on route to happily ever after. Good grief is what any grief becomes when you factor in a Holy God into the scene.

There is plenty that causes grief in our daily human lives. Covid 19, the flu, and even the common cold can all bring on a sense of grief. No one on Earth is immune to such daily ravages as sudden illness. Then there are the everyday natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and eruptions - you get the picture. There is no shortage of things to grieve over. Wildfires, building fires, crime, war and death. Not to mention that assignment you let go till the last minute and the overdue bills. Life can plague a person with grief.

Is there good grief? Besides letting go and having a good cry is there good grief? Is the full range of human suffering and all the grief in the world serving a higher purpose. A cathartic purpose. A divine revelatory purpose of showing utopias dwelling people that there is more to life possible. Things could have turned out so very differently to they all lived happily ever after. Instead of being endowed by the natural godhead to be prepared for any situation, we could easily have fallen short of the mark of intelligent life. We could easily have been eyewitnesses to doom rather than utopian potentials getting realized. 

With a Holy God on the scene, we are in a greatly improved condition even when we have reason to grieve. We possess the great hope God will turn our tears into joy and our sobbing into gladness. With a Holy God, we inherit a life graced with justice, forgiveness with purging for our wrongs to our fellow beings, and gifts awaiting our willingness to receive them. Prophecy and miracles wait to become a part of our lives taking us to a faithful knowledge all is well. If we are prone to the ravages of illness and time, with a Holy God we can look forward to the life to come when we will no longer be so subject. If we are mortal we can look forward to eternal life after death as every avatar into a mortal creation does. If we are unbelievers we can look forward to overt God signs convincing us to join in belief in good grief and happily ever after!

Change!

 

We are raised and educated with certain views given to us as basic facts. One is we have intelligent life because of the development of our brains. Another is we have an anatomical body supporting our mental life by our care for it. And third is we are human beings living the best lives we have developed our ability to achieve. These could all use a little change as far as my discovery of the infinite as alive, mind, and God indicates. First, we need to acknowledge a mind/brain connection between the infinite mind and our brain. Second, we have to grow aware we have a vision body and are part of the visualization creation God is undertaking at this time. Finally, we need to address that we are God almighty about his works in creation.

If I am correct about space forming an infinite mind by its basic natural phenomena then we are connected to this infinite mind through our brains. We have a very usable link to infinite knowledge on tap. We just have to grow aware this is the fact of the matter everything is created out of and start using our link. As far as I can figure outer space is composed of infinitesimal compressed dimensions of space each likewise composed in infinite endless progression. Outer space is infinite by observing any finite area one comes to has an exterior. All this space predates creations and their contents including sense organs. Space perceives itself and is the natural mind behind the creations we find ourselves in. Sense organs mask space as the membrane connective tissue that causes sensory reception. Space itself possesses all the properties we experience in creation.

Our body too is composed of space and exists in a visualization creation and is a vision interacting in the vision we call reality. Everything we see, feel, taste, touch, hear, etcetera are all visualization created and show properties of space. Outer space is a living God and infinite mind that can create universes, planes, creatures, and even interactive intelligent life. We may not realize this until our mortal lives are over and we are reunited with the Godhead. Then it will be too clear while now we have the illusion of building blocks of matter to credit so much of what we experience.  

As to our ego principle. We may think we are a human being. We may identify with our body or family tree. Yet as I figure we are all acts of God. God is almighty and can perform any material he creates. Birds, fish, animals, plants, or even tools using intelligent life. God the infinite mind possesses the Godhead theater of the mind to act out his creations in. God is the author, and director, stars in and is all accessories in these performances. Like in our dreams, there is nothing but the working of our brain so in Godhead theater, there is the working of God. We are a part of the body of life God has grown into. As Jesus part human and part divine suffered the cross due to his humanity so we too can suffer and feel very less than divine. Yet like players in a performance, we mask the divine truth in favor of our great performances.

Until our performance of humanity is over or we grow more faithful in life's divine reality we will remain on the brink of disbelief. Disbelief due to this creation being very elaborate in building blocks credited with all the phenomena we experience in our daily lives. Disbelief because of our humanity and its shortcomings. Disbelief because so much is beyond our control and we have no experience of the divine God behind it all. Consider this though - an infinite mind visualization creation, doesn't that fit the bill for a theory of everything?

The Obstacle Course

 

The modern opinions of science and medicine are that spirituality is all a bunch of nonsense. The universe was not created, there is no God, and there are no spiritual gifts. Sure there's third eyesight or the vivid imagination but that's all. Some people believe their way to madness and imagine they are seeing angels or talking to God. It is all in their minds. Yet one is only one miracle or overt sign away from science and medicine not knowing what they are talking about.

This opinion of science and medicine is a favorite of unbelievers. They quote the good doctor that it is all in their head who see angels or talk to God. The devil himself would be proud to quote the psychiatrist to the struggling believer with a give it up. There's no God. One could surely see with a vivid imagination one could daydream up God or angelic visitations and be confused. 

The blind see. The deaf hear. The lame walk. Clearly seeing any of these Biblical miracles performed one would know miracles exist. The gift of prophecy too shows there is foreknowledge of future things. The speaking and understanding of foreign tongues shows you are not just imagining a miracle. Yet one has to seek to find out if God is on his throne in Heaven, this is creation, and miracles do happen. 

Until you get an overt sign it is easy to buy into the science of the times. The very ideas that the universe is not created, there are no spiritual gifts and there is no God are like a spiritual obstacle course to growing in faith. These ideas can totally derail you and lead you to the scientific explanation. Not believing is easy these days. Having faith until you get a sign is the hard thing to do. 

The Three Wise Guys

 

It is reported in Scripture Jesus was greeted by three wise men from the East who saw the signs of his birth in the Heavens. We, on the other hand, are greeted by three wise guys at our births who haunt us from cradle to grave. The three wise guys are the religious teacher instructing us God has Hell prepared for the condemned, the government with a tax bill for us on our homes until we die and allowing such minimum wages one cannot support oneself or a family, and the businessman taking full advantage of government allowance with corporate greed even denying us retirement and health benefits. 

The religious teacher, be he a rabbi, preacher, cleric, or witness to a new Testament all tell us God has hell waiting for the damned. His grapes of wrath are being trodden. Rush to make your peace with the Creator or you too will perish in Hell. This they teach instead of we have an ancestral deity who gave us life and would like to welcome us to his goodness and eternal life after we die. A living invisible God that is always with us, can heal us provide for our needs, and even resurrect us. 

The government has taxes on our income, groceries, and even homes until we die. We are never free of the taxman. Then he also allows us to be given such low wages it is lucky we can afford groceries or home. Income tax is taken right out of our check before we get paid. This is instead of only taxing businesses to pay for our defense and the maintenance of the infrastructure. Taxing businesses for the right to do business in our nation and establishing a living wage as the minimum wage.

The businessman loves the government allowance to pay wages that will not support a worker let alone a family. Business swells its size with labor it pays cheap wages too allowing it to grow and profit thousands of times above its expenses. Businesses in their corporate greed do not want to pay for health care or grant retirement benefits to their employees. They would rather let the government pay for these necessities on top of supplementing employee income. This is instead of doing business in a family way. Hiring cousins from the human family. Paying wages they would give their own children for comparable work. Taking care of their employees' healthcare and retirement like family members.

How long will we let the three wise guys govern us like sheep instead of treating us like family? How long will we let the wise guys teach us to fear god, pay our taxes, accept our government-allowed wages, and do without health or retirement benefits? How long will the reign of the three wise guys last?

You + MPV = Faith

 

Faith beyond belief in things unseen but based on knowledge would be experiences of the reality of miracles(M), prophecy(P), and the view(V) of Heaven. Faith based on such knowledge is an unskable grounding in the reality of God. Just knowing about such faith grants you the ability to believe in the unseen witness you can bear. Experiences of miracles, a prophecy that comes true, or the view of the Heavenly realm, becoming an eye-witness to Creation grants you faith established in knowledge. Getting miracle-working, prophesizing, and viewing of Creation in your everyday life grants you faithful knowledge of Creation.

Knowledge is listed as a gift of the Holy Spirit. Belief in God as the invisible living infinite mind behind Creation visualization based on knowledge is very grounded in intelligence. Such faith can be had by realizing beyond blind faith is faith in experiencing miracles, prophecies, and the view of creation. This is a hopeful faith. This is faith-guided and praying for blessings from God. This is faith that wants more than the milk of the word. This is faith that wants something to chew on, wants the "meat" of experience to digest and ponder in one's heart.

When you get experiences of miracles, prophecy come true, or the view then you have possession of faithful knowledge. You have faith based on experience. You have faith grounded in reality. You know there are miracle-working prophets and you are an eyewitness to God's Creation. The sacred scripture comes to life. The invisible god is real. The promise of eternal life becomes a fact-based expectancy. Sacred knowledge becomes the world's most important lesson.

When you become a miracle-working prophet and share the view of Creation then you have a faithful knowledge of Heaven. You have very little left you have to believe as you now experience the reality of scripture. God is still invisible and experienced by his divine manifestations and his grace behind the acts in Creation is seen by faith alone at times when the adversary seems anything other than a team-spirited player. Other Creations get their own journey to take to reach Godhead and faithful knowledge. Until they do they are as wrapped up in their activities as you were before becoming grounded in the faith God is real.

You + MPV = Faith! Can you receive it?    

Team Spirit!

 

Imagine that in Creation, there exists a team spirit between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Imagine good and evil from the great duality-themed theater in the Godhead theater of the mind. Imagine good and evil like a football team's defensive and offensive line-ups playing for the team Heaven's win. Imagine good and evil in the great mind of the Godhead existing as one in his godhead where only God exists.

Imagine a troop of theater players, like Shakespearean actors, who perform the creative artists of Heaven's works instead of Shakespeare's works. Imagine the duality dramas of good and evil performed for the audience like any other educational drama to present the virtues of goodness and the follies of evil. Imagine that, in the Godhead Theater of the Mind, the show can go on forever if the audience desires serialization.

Imagine a missionary team arranged as football teams are in offensive and defensive lineups. The purpose of the sport is to win souls for Team Heaven. Imagine the offensive lineup job being to gather souls going rogue or astray from societal behavioral norms for eventual heavenly admittance. Imagine the defensive lineup job to promote societal values and establish converts to a more eternal heavenly life. Imagine the greater your level of faith, the more this is apparent the best use of good and evil.

Imagine outer space naturally forming a great organ of perception or mind. Imagine this mind using all the created sensory functions. Imagine all that exists are visualization creations eternally linked by contact to this vast mind network. Imagine everything in creation living intelligent points of perception able to claim oneness in the vast Godhead by identifying with the great gift horse of the natural mind that is God. Imagine that to the great ancestral god as a living infinite mind, only God exists, even as good and evil agents. 

What To Believe?

 

What should we believe about God? Should we take him at his word that he is Holy? Should we believe he is supreme goodness? Or should we weigh the texts claimed to have been authored by him? Does he want to be judge, jury, and executioner, destroying the disobedient in hell? Is it anyone's guess until we are made eyewitnesses to Heaven by the all-seeing eye?

God repeatedly asks us in the Bible to be Holy because he is Holy. The numerous promises God makes in scripture hint he is a providential God. One would expect a Holy God king forever to have a realm where Justice flourishes. In the Bible, God expresses the perfect law of liberty is the one to be as judged by. Be harmless; the very law itself, in short form, is even mentioned. Even the just penalty of an eye for an eye to the last farthing, nothing more and nothing less, is inferrable. Is God Supreme Goodness?

The books of scripture expose a legal edifice. Laws are given. Penalties are prescribed. Death in hell, at the last judgment, is the final fate of those condemned. The text makes it clear that some are saved, and some are condemned. The letter of the law gives death. Yet the Gospel says the truth will set you free, be as they to be judged by the law of liberty, for the Spirit ministers life. 

Until we are eyewitnesses of Heaven, we may guess either way and risk being wrong. Until God overtly repeals the laws prohibiting harmless liberties, we can fear damnation if we do them anyway. Until then, we can only hope God is a Holy and Just eternal king instead of a lawgiving tyrant looking forward to a reign of terror based on eternal destruction in hell for disobedience.
