I must admit an element of almost disbelief. Every day i come to this expecting to be finally disappointed. yet i never am.
The last underlined sentence is the real core to what my whole life has been. Said even using words i would use as well. We truly live in heaven on earth and it is our task to gently tame it all. Thus the meaning of this blog named terraforming terra. It will take us many years and an ultimate human population of over one hundred billion just to sustain the living biome properly.
Understand that the Catholic mass is an actual invocation of the holy spirit to strengthen the intentions of the seekers in prayer. Otherwise the church also serves as a community organizing protocol.
My only wish is that this was understood and taught this way...
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
THE THIRD OF THE EGYPTIAN SCROLLS
(A Fragment)
If a man would know Heaven, he must first know
Earth. Man cannot understand Heaven until he understands Earth. He cannot
understand God imtil he understands himself, and he cannot know love unless he
has been loveless.
God is unknown but not unknowable. He is unseen
but not unseeable. God is unheard but not unbearable. He is not understood but
He is understandable.
The goal of life is upstream, not downstream.
Man must struggle against the current, not drift with the flow. A child is bom
knowing all God intended it to know, the rest it must discover for itself. Man
does not live to increase the glory of God, this cannot be done, but to
increase the glory of man.
He who worships with empty rituals wastes his
time and displays the shallowness of his thought. That which man does to
benefit man is good, but if he seeks to gratify God it is a labour of ignorance
showing disrespect for God whose nature is above that of earthly princes. A
lifting hand is worth ten wagging tongues.
Be a man of fortitude and courage. Prepare to
fight, for Earth gives man but two choices: to struggle or perish.
There is work to be done in the Garden of God,
therefore cease useless performances and word-wasting discussions, go, pick up
the hoe and tackle the task to hand.
This is the secret of life: Man lives in God and
God lives in man. This answers all questions.
