Thank you for helping us go deeper into what this 'awakening' is truly about...and giving us your photographic imagery to experience a bigger picture. Water immersion is a God given gift for a reason...from the amniotic to a baptismal choice of proclaiming bodily and spiritual connection with Divine Will . I feel truly humbled and grateful to read your essay. Go in Peace!
Crikey Martin; I think I need to read that again another time - a bit deep for a confused and pressurized human on an average Wednesday afternoon - but a much appreciated missive nonetheless. I shall indeed read it again later. Thank you for your efforts to enlighten me. I hope that I shall also manage to 'get it' later.
This is such a refreshing change from when I first began reading your work. I believe the desire to seek truth is instilled into our spirits so that we may (re)discover ultimate Truth. Thank you so much for translating, and not transliterating, that particular Greek word that has confused so many for so long. I am anxious to follow your continued spiritual growth and pray that your veracity for uncovering truth continually influences both those whom you encounter as well as those who read your work.
Just what I/we needed. Helped me to understand part of (maybe) why I was drawn to swim in the three glacial lakes on a recent travel to the mountains. In one case I did not put my head under. My hesitation mirrors my hesitation to find immersion with divine will. ... In more surface matters, I have no idea what I'll be "doing" in September. I have been anxious about this. But a friend today over coffee said, That must be liberating. Maybe visiting Iceland this next span of days will help me to sit with these ideas and finally begin to put my head into the living waters.
In my own Spiritual Journey my Guides have brought me to The Urantia Book. I had vaguely heard of it, but have been blown away by the reading of it!! This "revelation" was given back in the 1920's & 30's through a unique set of circumstances. It gives us a much wider Cosmic View of Everything & explains in more detail the incarnation of Jesus on this planet! The final 'papers' given were a more complete version of the story of the Life of Jesus. I am only up to his age of 26, but it has been most interesting. These Higher Beings that are relating his story were witnesses to how it all played out; in fact, the entire Universe had eyes on our planet as this was happening!! It has been so refreshing to get out of the Biblical Mindset that has held us prisoners for so many centuries. Pauline Christianity has about played itself out, I would say. Since my Father was a Baptist Minister I do know all that is entailed in this Biblical Mindset! There is a Reset happening & we are fortunate enough to be here to witness it!!
I am thinking about the time when the Bolshevik government went village to village confiscating people's food and killing 10 million people via starvation and brutality. I am having trouble feeling like that's ok because saving the flesh is not a legitimate goal of a free man. I think that monks are great; I am having trouble with believing we should all be monks, or that they would leave us alone if we chose that.
Welcome home, Martin. I know it has taken a long time for you to reach your destination, but you have the comfort of knowing that you have arrived. Many never reach this point of "innerstanding". Our happiness can only truly be found by accepting and venerating God's Law. It is the truth that Jesus tried to bring to the world in order to set us free. Sadly, the "Church of Rome" (the Vatican) hijacked it mercilessly because it was in their interests to do so and we have been suffering under their corrupt Statutory matrix of Maritime Law ever since. Fortunately, the truth really is setting us free and we are learning how powerful humans truly are when we live in Christ-conscious harmony with ourselves and one another. We are divine souls having a human experience, but in order for us to manifest in a truly divine realm, we must reconcile ourselves as being subordinate to the Divine Creator. Thank you for your beautiful, heartfelt dialogue; thank you for sharing your intimate and beautifully crafted thoughts and feelings. I am truly grateful for the love that you give so freely. It is a great joy to follow you on your path to self-discovery, from which we all benefit, thanks to your generosity. xx
There is a distinction between ‘dead’ and a corporate entity. In order to be ‘dead’ you have to have been alive at some point in the same way as a stone is not dead as such and therefore this is a misnomer to a certain extent which conjures up all sorts of images of necromancy which is not appropriate. Our strawman is not ‘dead’, it is just a fictional entity we create to do business with one another in society

Yes to a re-read Paul (below); thanks for the lovely photos of the heather and highlands. Miss 'em.
Thanks for your insight. Peace be unto you.
