What is this
Earth place, its founding and purpose,
the aim, the objective, the intent,
the
reason for God’s design as it relates to man?
It is an
institute of learning.
I see its
foundation as establishing the faculties
of the mind made to calculate, estimate
and evaluate, to perpetuate, propagate and
disseminate, to create and
generate, demonstrate,
validate and activate, to formulate, articulate
and
designate.
Man has been
formed with the inherit instruments
of learning, understanding, and teaching.
He has the capacity
of thoughtfulness, mindfulness
and intuitiveness.
All of the
elements and components are designed
to be elevated to the highest purpose of
this
created life and placement in the universe.
Its all in
the mind – the tools of cognizance,
awareness, consciousness and subconsciousness.
Man is
equipped to think –
embodying the brain power to formulate opinion,
to
meditate, deliberate, ponder and reflect.
So why is it
that he seems to stagnate
in blind ambition, ignorant hypotheses,
senseless
rhetoric, willingly partaking of deliberate
foolishness.
He seems to prefer
to deteriorate
rather than seek to elevate himself
from the basement of barbarism -
wallowing in self-deception, purposeful deceit,
shams and scams, in futile, wasteful guile.
Why is it he
does not learn the life lessons
necessary to reach the stars?
To reach the
platform of his ingenious making?
Why is he
unable to break through the barriers,
the trappings of foolish pride,
self-importance,
superiority and arrogant narcissism?
It’s as if
he thinks so little of himself –
and prefers to remain a little man.
Man is
intended to develop to a superior
intellectual level, high and lifted up –
with
insightful enlightenment and transformation.
With the
tools handed down to him
in the resources and sources found in all the
aspects of nature, science, art and music, sports,
historical backdrops, ideas and
ideals, imagination,
determination, resolve and fortitude.
He was not
intended to let others think for him –
he is to learn to think for himself.
With the guidance, coaching and
learning
from others of course.
But it is his
mind which has been set in motion.
He was not
intended to sit on his hands,
to do nothing, to meander through life on Earth
like a piece of driftwood.
His mind was
not carved in stone –
it is living tissue filled with power and might.
There are
great and mighty trees which grow strong
to weather the storms.
There are
mighty rivers which never cease to flow.
Every animal
uses his instincts, his in-bred
makeup to traverse the earth in its seasons…
and
learn the way in which he is to go.
Intellect is
built into our DNA. We are formed
to reach our minds far out into the universe.
The six most
common elements of life on Earth
(more than 97 percent of the mass of the human
body) are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen,
sulfur and phosphorus.
These elements are abundant at the center
of
the the Milky Way galaxy.” (Space.com) Selah*
We are light
because light unveils and reveals,
illuminates and shines in the darkness,
lifts up and pushes boundaries.
The
darkness was instituted to show forth
the need for the light - to reveal the
properties
absent of light.
Darkness hides, covers, conceals, presses down
on
our minds. Blinding and suppressing
our abilities to reach our predestined
heights.
Some prefer the darkness as a
shield –
to shield them from coming to terms
with their fallibility, and/or
inabilities.
Light is a
universal physical constant –
important in many areas of physics. God said,
“Let there be light, and there was light.”
Note: the sun is always shining upon the
earth.
Even behind the darkest stormy skies
–
where dark clouds hover over. At the darkest
of night, the sun is still shining in its
appointed place.
It is light
which teaches the Word of God
in spirit and in truth - which speaks to the
mind.
The revelations of the Holy Spirit inform
the mind: “Study to show
thyself approved,”
“Seek and you shall find.”
“Knock and the door will be
opened to you.”
“Come now, and let us reason together.”
“It is the glory of God to conceal
things,
to search out things is the glory of kings.”
Proverbs 25:2
We were not
formed to be men of ignorance,
illiteracy and obliviousness.
We were not
formed to wallow in foolishness.
To
squander the gift of intellect.
We are not
to remain innocent as a child
sucking at his mother’s breast.
But to reach
for maturity in wisdom, knowledge
and understanding.
The
mechanisms of the brain are wired to
record and store endless knowledge and
information – smartly woven to house
the brilliance of imagination, conceptualization,
mechanization in drawing conclusions
and resolutions.
Butterflies are numerous in-kind -
in
the thousands!
There is a genius in their amazing abilities
to navigate the
terrestrial plains.
But this
human-man’s genius far exceeds
all other life forms.
In order to
understand life –
man must study life in all its forms,
in all its principles,
in all its text and subtext.
In order to
fly, he must understand the mechanics
of flight. To measure the distances and
limitations
of the model.
Man can
build a rocket to the moon
and search out the planets.
He learned to walk and speak.
He learned
refrigeration and hydration.
He learned
to navigate across boundless seas.
He learned
to give attention to the voice
of the ocean.
He learned
to plant seeds and reap their harvest.
The seed
(knowledge) sown in the soil (mind)
must be planted expertly, fertilized and watered
frequently; it must be tended
daily;
it must be protected with care; it must not be given
over to the weeds
which suck the life out
of the plantings and bring forth only that which is
liken to dung.
Our
knowledge is continually tested in
our consciousness and subconsciousness;
even
in sleep our minds are at work.
Everything
on Earth is designed to grow
and produce, to develop and mature according
to
the order.
But it takes
hard work to grow a thing.
It is also, importantly, through
experience that
we learn and grow… Leaving the stoop,
and venturing onto the open road.
All creation
is designed to recreate itself.
We are created
and designed to be the expression
of God – earthen vessels of God.
Expressions of love…for God is love…
(This is My commandment; love one another
as I have loved you…” John 15:12)
We are born
from above.
And all man-kind
has had to walk to school
of the University
of Earth.
Filled with
challenges of every kind -
to infuse the mind.
There is no
way out of confusion
without seeking to understand: there is no way
to climb a mountain,
successfully,
without study of the way up.
Man could
not have learned the way of light
unless he had comprehended the way of
darkness.
“I formed the light and I
formed the darkness.
I am God doing all
these things.” Isaiah 45:7
Man had to
come through the snake pit and pig sty
into the knowledge and understanding of
the ways
of God in perfecting the work which he created
by His Own Voice.
Our human
development should be so much
further along than this heap of hate and hypocrisy,
futility and senseless banter, immorality
and superiority, greedy ego-maniacs
and prideful fools.
Our human
development should be further along
than walking as four-legged animals with
heads
in the sand dust blinding the eyes and clogging
the ears.
We were and
are created to be masters of the
universe.
Special
Note:
To quote from
a text of a blessed biblical scholar,
Preston Eby –
--There was
a created man – (the spiritual) –
and a formed man (the earthly man).
In Genesis
1, it is written man is created:
In Genesis 2, it is written he was formed
out of the dust of the earth.
Genesis
1:26-27 – “And God said, let Us make man
in Our image, after Our
likeness…”
This man was created.
Of what was he created!? He was
created
of the Word. It does not say
that he was formed
out of something, it does not say the earth
brought him forth.
He was created. “…And God created man
in His Own image, in the image of
God
created he him.”
Genesis 2:7
– “And the Lord God formed man
of the
dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils the breath (spirit) of life,
and man became a living soul.”
The man who
had been spirit now became
a living soul
- Manifest in the earth realm.
Adam became
a living soul, revealing there was
a process of descending from a
pure spirit
existence, into a lesser realm.--
My friend
James Lee quoted Brother Malcolm
in saying, “The
future belongs to those
who prepare for it.”

“For the creation was subjected to
frailty
(futility), not because of some intentional
fault on its part, but the
will of Him
Who so subjected it…with the hope.” Romans 8:20
“It was in Him that all things were
created,
in heaven and on earth, things seen and things
unseen, whether
thrones, dominions, rulers,
or authorities; all things were created
and existed
through Him, and He Himself existed
before all things, and in Him all things
consist.”
Colossians
1:16-17,20
