what a phrase to remember... a quote from pastor Moses "you can't worship until you see the worth"
I was reading fishtail's post yesterday and i wrote an article but when i tried to post it the whole page went on an error.. well the post had nothing to do with what he posted recently but what was at the side under the profile corner. The writeout on Anapurna or also known as Macchapucchre or fishtail.. because when you see it fomr an angle it looks like a whale's tail, totally amazing when you see it face to face. Nepal is such a beautiful place with the mountains and ranges surrounding it. It reminds me of how great and big is our God and how everything was made beautiful.
Everything was beautiful until man took things into their own hands.. ignoring the truth that has been there before is here and will always be there. We start to have to sweat and toil to get what we need after the fall. But by the grace of God we lack nothing but in everything by prayer and suplication and with thanksgiving, we let our request made known to God.. Since the fall and man lost that intimate relationship with Him we've always been looking to something or someone to turn to a higher being to be under or to worship. Some wise men have done their thinking and their own theories and philosyphy which point man to the way but is incomplete and in time with the hunger in man these great men evolved into an idol instead of their ways being followed completely which is not what they meant it to be. In a sect, to achieve the final is to be able to empty yourself through the means of meditation. many different dictrines and philosophies have been created to satisfy the void inside of man which only One can satisfy.
The human idea of meditation; emptying yourself. What and how will this help you to achieve the highest call? It's nothing but mere emptiness like it's already stated; empty yourself. Not to say it is completely wrong we indeed should empty ourselves. Now you may think i'm contradicting values and even my own words but no. What was said and taught is incomplete.. yes we need to empty ourselves of our flesh and be filled with the Comforter and not the 'other' one which is what happens when we're to empty and filled with nothing. The 'other' will come and occupy. Some great men have claimed to achieve the final stage so to speak but reaching complete emptiness and mey seem from the outwardly that they've found peace. But what lies beneath the surface no one knows. Everyone has thier own mask. Many have been blinded from the truth that they are literally empty and they are convinced that it is their path of life. We alwasy hunger for a fellowship but we can't find the one we need. Man creates figures and laws of their own concerning the 'salvation' of man but there is only one true salvation and that's through the blood. Who can understand His ways? Cleanse me and keep me from presumtuous sins.
How and where can men find peace but in Him. Who can fill that void but Him. Why then is man still seeking in the wrong places? What then is the greater calling? How will they know unless someone tells them? Yet we see the lost.. many being content with pleasures of this world and some even 'empty' from the world and seem to be fulfilled. but what's in their hearts? Truly "the heart of man is decietful above all things, it is desperately sick; who can understand it?" who can understand it? who can know what is in the hearts of man but One. knowing in our minds and walking it out seem to be a different dimension altogether. It's like a flat piece and a 3d piece; words are like a 2d(flat) piece is unclear unless it is made out and translated into a 3d piece do we get a full picture of what it is.
Look at the skies... a perfect illustration for man.. Before the fall everything was beautiful, so was the sky and everything in the atmosphere.. Looking toward the heavens one will see stars and the air is fresh and not poisoning. But now look it is poluted just like we are and it blocks away the glory of God from heaven. Clouds block out the sunlight only a grey tint in the sky, no pure light without distortion from the sun.. now everything is blurred as we keep working and working and building our own 'castles' of what we belive in and where we stand. Until the day earth realizes that air is poluted and stop toiling and rest will the skies be made clear from all polutants which poison us and we'll be able to see the truth.
