The Light

-


We are all made of light, in a sense. All matter is is condensed, structured energy at its core. Light is just energy as well. Light, to me, is the basic energy. The foundation of all things physical and even spiritual is light, from my perspective. 


I look at examples from scripture to reinforce the importance of light in my mind. In the beginning, the first thing God said...the very first words out of his mouth was, "let there be light." He spoke existence into existence.


    I look later on in the New Testament and think of the Gospel of John and recall Jesus being described as "the light" on multiple occasions throughout the gospel. It said the darkness "did not over come him".


   Light is often synonymous with goodness or righteousness. Based on the genesis account, I think I can speak truthfully when I say light is from God. So, obviously, Jesus, being the incarnate word of God as the gospel of John describes him as, its only natural and fitting that Jesus would be pure light. The purest of light so to speak, and in him there was no darkness at all. 


     I have a lot of darkness in me. Even though I'm not going around committing crimes or atrocities, I still have darkness. Whether it be bitterness, hate, vengeful thoughts, obscene language, sexual immorality, the list goes on I am not free of sin and the darkness of this world and the influence of evil.


None of us are. We all find a blight, a black spot, whether in our hearts or minds, that separate ourselves from God's glory and is infinite love. In my darkness, though, my light is never extinguished. It's never blotted out. I've noticed something about darkness. All it takes is just a small amount and you can see well enough to find things in a pitch-black room. 


      This speaks volumes to me, even if the darkness is all consuming and overwhelming, all it takes is a single flame, a single light, to cut through it. Darkness only wins if the light is blotted out, and darkness cannot do that, because darkness is a void, an emptiness. Light is the only thing that truly exists. Jesus, being God's perfect light, can never be extinguished


He's like a supernova to me, haha. I know, it sounds cheesy. He is bright and so powerful that all my darkness is obliterated and all those voids are filled. A supernova, being the most high energy, high luminosity explosion in the universe that can lighten up the night sky of a planet from hundreds of lightyears away. Darkness doesn't stand a chance against that light, darkness doesn't stand a chance against the light of an infinite God.  Jesus is that light to me. He is my light.

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

-

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.
