The Ship

-



I'm not the pilot of this ship.
I'm just along for the ride. 
I don't hold the reigns, nor control the game.
I'm just moved by the waves and tides.
Sometimes I decide
To make waves of my own
But I know not how big or how small
Those waves that I make
Are, but not much is at stake
This stagnancy in life 
Is sometimes hard to take
But I must admit 
Sometimes I sit
And think about 
what impact I've made for a bit
Have I changed the way 
people think about life?
Do my words fall on deaf ears
Or are do they cut like a knife
At the minds and hearts
Of my friends and strangers
When I speak of cool ideas
Or when I warn of danger?
Are my thoughts valuable?
I'd like to hope so
In some ways I know 
That my thoughts matter
Either to friends or silent observors
It doesn't matter
My thoughts matter to me
And that's all that matters
Whether I talk about dark matter
In space, or a brain's grey matter
To the ones that matter
My thoughts matter
And that's all that matters
I still must admit
I don't run this show
I'm just a janitor
And no matter how much I know
I'm still not in the know
I don't know what goes on
Behind the world's curtains
I don't know who pulls the strings
In this world behind the scenes
I'm just a broken man
With broken wings
Chasing after broken dreams
This world is not my world.
I was placed here not by choice
I was placed here by a God
Who gave me a loud voice
With my words I make much noise
But I don't know how loud I am
Am I yelling into void?
Will this fire in me go dim?
Will I burn out before my time?
Will this spark die too soon?
Will I whither away and break down
Like a flower that failed to bloom?
I must admit
Here as I sit
This life never felt like a good fit
This much I know
Through life I go
I was never the one in control
I do not steer
I only hear
The words from mouths
Filled with doubt and fear
Though as I peer
Through the darkness here
With Jesus, there's no need for fear
With Him I'll surely find freedom here
And in eternity, my dear
No longer is there room for fear
Also, I must say
Though in life I must stay
I'm not even in control of today
Now I must go
I hope you know
God up above
Watches me below
And I know
How much he loves me so
This much I know
I surely know 
How my King will never let me go.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

-
Image
Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
