It's ok to be low

-


I used to get so upset when I would be reminded of what I don't have, whether that be wealth, a rewarding career, a beautiful family, you name it. I still do sometimes. It still frustrates me when I see what I want and can't have it. 


Jealousy's quite brutal of an emotion. It makes you forget how good what you do have is by reminding you of what you don't have. I hated feeling unequal and disadvantaged. I always wanted to be in the same ballpark, on the same playing field, as everyone else.


I've learned in life that there are many types of equality and many types of advantages. You might be equal with others in some ways, exceed others in some ways, and be worse than others in some ways. A person is multifaceted and multidimensional, and equality will happen in some of those dimensions and not happen in others. 


Nobody has the Superman arrangement of traits and advantages. We don't get the "God Mode" cheat code. None of us do. We are all good at some things, and bad at others. I'm a really good writer, but I'm really bad at social queues and social awareness. I have a paralysing fear of driving, but I am not afraid to speak my mind. All of us are good at some things and bad at others. 


The Human Being is not 1 dimensional, 2 dimensional, or even 3 dimensional. We have a brain that has the same level of connections as there are galaxies in the universe and is probably the most complex system in the universe aside from the universe itself. We are extremely mulidimensional, and as a result equalities and inequalities, advantages and disadvantages, abilities and inabilities are all going to apply to each individual differently.


An organism that can imagine entire universes or think about infinite systems and has that capacity is going to have a complex relationship with concepts like equality and liberty.


In life, as a person, no matter how disadvantaged or unequal you feel, just remember its ok to be low. Its ok to be a servant.


It's ok to be at the bottom. Jesus was. Now He sits at God's Right Hand.


I'm sure a God who created a truly infinite existence has plans for you to share in his love and glory.


I'm ok with being low. I am getting to a point where I don't care about labels anymore. I don't care that I have a Bipolar diagnosis. I don't care that I am a Janitor. I love my job. 


I don't care about the traumas or failures as much anymore. They will always be with me, but I know where I stand with Jesus.


It's ok to be low. God loves the low and the high. One cannot exist without the other. A throne can't stand in a building unless that building has a foundation.

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.
