Sometimes we spend so much time “Inside the box,” we forget that there is also a much larger - “Outside the box.” This Physical Dimension of Life often becomes just such a Captivity to our mind. And, this simply should not be.
Certainly, if seen only in the Small Context of the Physical Reality, humanity appears "Bigger," more "Aware," and more "In Control" When, in fact - we really are not We simply seem so in that small context But, even seen in this limited way, our true "Smallness" is exposed every day For example, we have yet to discover how to overcome the pervasive power of "Temporary"
Indeed, staving off the impact of “temporary” consumes most of our energy - every day. From our archiectcture, to our health, to our relationships, to the height of the grass in our front yard Nothing stays the same for long For all of our effort, still, we are powerless to maintain the status quo of anything, over time
And, "temporary" is by no means the only glaring "Smallness" of our species. From violence, to the chronic dismissal of our better judgement, to that relentless aging thing, and for that matter - dying, itself So very many things show us not to be nearly so "arrived" and "in control" as we typically prefer to believe.
So surely, it is abject arrogance to believe with certainty that our puny Intellect Even when bolstered by our relatively simplistic Bi-nary Based Technology Has now brought us to the limits of all that can be known - an awareness of all that's "Out There." Not hardly
And, "temporary" is by no means the only glaring "Smallness" of our species. From violence, to the chronic dismissal of our better judgement, to that relentless aging thing, and for that matter - dying, itself So very many things show us not to be nearly so "arrived" and "in control" as we typically prefer to believe.
Truly, there remains a largely unfamilar “Out There,” just beyond this small Physical "Box" with which we are all - so very familiar And, this more Sprawling Dimension of Reality is waiting to be explored, and experienced But, that can only happen if we are willing to venture beyond captivity of our "Familiar"
And certainly, if our Physical Sensibilities are Marginal in this smaller physical reality, They are Altogether Inadequate for that much larger and more sophisticated reality. So, that dimension must be investigated more Intuitively, And that, in the context of a Profound Humility on the part of the investigator.
And certainly, if our Physical Sensibilities are Marginal in this smaller physical reality, They are Altogether Inadequate for that much larger and more sophisticated reality. So, that dimension must be investigated more Intuitively, And that, in the context of a Profound Humility on the part of the investigator.
But, when these conditions are in play, truly, that Encompassing Dimension is entirely knowable. The following is a kind of “Wireframe” Presentation of that more Comprehensive Dimension of Reality.
Reality Wireframed:
Unabridged,
Unadulterated, and Un-veneered
THERE IS ALMIGHTY GOD
Recognized or unrecognized does not alter the reality
of His existence [Psalm 90:2]
He is loving, and forgiving, and patient [Psm. 1: 1-6]
But, at the end of His patience, He is decisive, and
fierce, and implacable [Rev. 6:2-16]
THERE IS THE BI-DIMENSIONAL
REALITY
FIRST, THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION: This more Ethereal Dimension is,
nevertheless, chiefly defined by the
idea of “Permanence” [Rev. 22:1-5]
Elements within the Spiritual Dimension “Endure” [Heb. 1:8]
The Spiritual Dimension is the All-encompassing and the “Governing” dimension of reality [Psm. 103:19]
SECOND, THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION: This much more “Touchable” dimension is chiefly defined by the idea of “Temporary” [Heb. 1:10-12]
All elements within this dimension are always
short-lived – from the physical life, itself, to everything within it – all is fleeting [Psm.
39:4-6]
The Physical Dimension of reality is the Smaller and
the “Governed” dimension [Psm. 74:17]
These two dimensions of Reality are, at once,
intimately Inter-connected and yet very Distinct [Psm. 66:1]
Ultimately, God absolutely rules over both dimensions
of reality [Psm. 103:19]
THERE IS THE DIVINE PURPOSE
The divine purpose is simply to create a Consummate
Reality of Unadulterated Beauty where a renewed mankind can experience Permanent and thoroughly Fulfilling
life [Rev. 21:3-7]
That purpose involves time and a transformative plan and process entirely centered around Jesus Christ Eph. 4:11-24]
That purpose involves time and a transformative plan and process entirely centered around Jesus Christ Eph. 4:11-24]
This divine purpose is ultimately Unalterable and Unstoppable [Isa. 55:10-13]
THERE IS POWERLESS YOU
You control nothing of Enduring Consequence in this present dimension of reality - except your own Moral Agency –
and even that, only precariously [Psm. 144:3-4]
and even that, only precariously [Psm. 144:3-4]
You now Temporarily occupy only - a Small Space in, and a Short Span of - this physical reality; and, you will soon physically die - as have all before you [Jam. 4:13-14]
But, in fact, you were created by God to transcend
the temporary nature of this physical dimension 1 Th. 4:13-18]
You were created to experience and be part of the
permanent beauty of God’s Consummate Creation in the spiritual dimension of reality [2 Pet. 3:9]
THERE IS AMBIENT EVIL
This physical reality contains an ever present and
very pervasive evil [Rev. 12:9]
This Satan authored evil forms the Antithesis to the Divine
Goodness [Jn. 8: 37-47]
This evil employs sophisticated deceptions to Diminish Human Awareness, Especially regarding: >The Consequences of embracing of Evil >Christ as the one true "Renewer" of Humanity and >The Authentic Redemptive Process
[Gen. 3: 1-19]
[Gen. 3: 1-19]
These deceptions have, indeed, largely achieved their purpose in all of these areas [Jn. 1:1-5]
THERE IS JESUS CHRIST
He presently offers Himself to all as the living but
invisible Divine Spirit who is willing to intimately
interact with mankind on a very Personal Basis [Mt. 1:23]
He is the only Divinely Authenticated “Renewer” of
the human Perspective and Character Essence who can prepare the individual for transcendence into God’s
Consummate Creation [Acts 4:5-12]
His beautiful character essence is the Living Template
for the thorough renewal of the human character essence [Rom. 8:1-9]
His simple Redemptive Mission is to Complete that Character
Transformation in all who sincerely respond to
Him
[2 Cor. 5:17]
[2 Cor. 5:17]
THERE IS A PERSONAL RESPONSE
REQUIRED
God Requires a personal response to Jesus Christ [Rev. 3:20]
God Requires a personal response to Jesus Christ [Rev. 3:20]
THERE ARE ONLY THREE POSSIBLE
RESPONSES TO JESUS CHRIST
Response #1: A Sincere, and Profoundly Humble Embrace of the Lordship of Jesus Christ That Embrace must include 3 Essential Elements: >His Values >His Truth >His Daily Directions for Life. [Jn. 14: 15-27]
Response # 2:
An Insincere or Shallow Embrace of the Lordship of Jesus Christ – one
which Fails to Adequately Invest in those 3 Essential Elements
Response # 3: A Non-response to the Lordship of
Christ [Jn. 3: 18-19]
So, the individual is Free To Choose between God’s Love and Satan’s Deceit; but, a Valid Choice for Christ requires Real Investment [Jn. 3: 1-10]
THERE ARE ONLY TWO EXTANT OUTCOMES
Response #1:
Brings God’s immediate and intimate Friendship, personal Character
Renewal, and Permanent
Life in God’s Consummate Creation. [Mt. 11:28-29]
Responses #2 and #3: bring God's Rejection and horrible suffering in unending oblivion [Mt. 22: 1-14]
In all cases, these outcomes are Eternally Irreversible [Rev. 20: 10-15]
THERE IS A TIME LIMIT FOR RESPONSE
This Time Limit is Defined by the Limits of the
Physical Lifespan [Heb. 9:27]
-OR- The Loss of Capacity to respond [Heb. 13: 1-15]
-OR- The Clarion Return of Jesus Christ to the
Physical Dimension [1 Th. 5:1-3]
THERE ARE THE GENERAL DYNAMICS
As a Whole Species, humanity is presently in a kind
of “Developmental Womb,” i.e. this Physical Dimension of reality [1 Jn. 3: 1-3]
Individually, human beings are moving toward
Existential Permanence – whether for Better or Worse – based in the Quality of their Response to Jesus Christ [Rev.
22:1-5]
THERE ARE THE ETERNAL OUTCOMES
[Mt. 3:1-12]
But, those who humbly embraced the Lordship of Christ
will know Surpassing Beauty and Permanent Life in
God’s Perfected Creation [Rev. 21:1- 22:5]
