"The point was, God can't just appear in our dreams each night and straighten everything out. That isn't the way it works. You will say it would make things a lot easier, but it actually wouldn't be any fun, for him or for us. We have to find out things for ourselves. But once we DO find out things for ourselves, those things we as humans discovered cannot be erased. The spirit world does not allow it. Documents can be destroyed and people can be killed, but that is feckless since the information is ultimately not stored in documents or in people's bodies. It is stored in people's minds or spirits, which are photon bodies. In a sense, the very air around you remembers these things, and the governors cannot do anything about it. Once it is known it cannot be unknown."
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
Several months ago I was reading a nonfiction book by Christian author Paul Tournier, and made it about three-quarters of the way through before being drawn away to other things.
When I picked it up this last week and finished reading it, I found references to about a dozen Bible passages that had come up in my daily Bible readings in the interim, mostly obscure Old Testament personages with a variety of afflictions; Tournier was a Swiss doctor famous for connecting his Christianity with his medical practice.
I also read a Christian fiction book this last week: Deadline, by Randy Alcorn. One day, what I read in the book mirrored my morning Bible reading on that same day.
"A work of creation was three-fold, an earthly trinity to match the heavenly; the Creative Idea, timeless and passionate, which is the image of the Father; the Creative Energy, begotten of the idea and working in time, which is the image of the Word; the Creative Power, the meaning of the work and its response in the individual soul, which is the image of the indwelling Spirit."
-- P. D. James, summarizing Dorothy L. Sayers' description
