Josh Plovanic's Writings and Thoughts

 Space is a mysterious thing. It is one of the core aspects of our physical existence, yet we don't have a completely clear understanding of it. In relativity physics, Einstein equated space and time to be of the same construct. Space is part of time and time is part of space.        We know that space/time changes and is distorted in a way by objects with mass that exist in it. The more massive the object, the more distorted space/time gets. This shows that spacetime itself has a "realness" to it even if it's completely void of matter and energy. Almost as if it has quanta, or building block parts. In my meditations, I like to play with the complexity of things. I like to play with the complexity of space and time. For the sake of a thought experiment, I suspended what I knew about space so I could experiment with how complex and dynamic space could get in my imagination. I imagined space as having three distinct types of infinities. They are expanse infinity, ...

  You, my dearest, dearest love, have infinite, intrinsic worth. You are priceless, more valuable than the stars.  More valuable, to me love, than entire worlds All the worlds. You, my dearest, precious friend, have more worth than all the wealth of your world.  The wealth of all the worlds. Even the wealth of all of existence. Money means nothing to me bud. Nore does gold or silver Nor does platinum and sapphires Nor does conquest or power What matters to me, and what gives you your priceless value, is my love for you. That's all that matters, and that you love me back as hard as you can. I care not about the opinions of those around you. Nor of that of your society.  I disregard the negative thoughts about you from your friends and family Nor do I concern myself with the hate of the ones who hardly know you...or used to know you. Their thoughts, their opinions, their hate is of no consequence for you. You will still enter into my Kingdom and rest in my presence aft...

I am forever yours.  In skies of countless stars This universe is ours and I am forever yours Across the oceans Into the forests to the ivory pinnacles  Of mountains that almost touch heaven's doors I am forever yours Through floods or fires through blood and liars through mud and mires I am forever yours My dearest friend My greatest King I live for you  my king of dreams my lord of Hosts You'll guide me home to the greatest home I'll ever know Even in pain With you I gain I never lose  for loving you can only take  you up the stairs and not forsake  the greatest love forever endures the biggest heartbreaks and biggest wars You'll stand by me and open doors and I will be forever yours

A name is everything. It's how everyone else knows who you are and what you are. Your name, aside from your dreams and hopes, is the most important part of your personhood. If there is one thing that gives a person individuality and supersedes any typecast or category it is the fact that we all have names. Names are greater than numbers. Names, more often than not, have meaning and history that goes beyond what a number can give something. There is a difference between "Josh" and "human #4636" My name has more value than a number, primarily because it has more meaning. It's a value that you can't put a monetary worth on. If you only number people, that makes them more of a product with quantity than people. It's the same reason why cattle ranchers don't name their cattle. They number them. A name would give them more of a personhood that would make it harder to kill them. It creates emotions and sympathy toward the animal. When someone goes to pr...

  One thing I've learned about Jesus is, to him, human hierarchies are quite irrelevant and of no real significance. His example was that the low was actually high and the high was actually low. He himself came as a servant and in terms of his social standing at times he was not much of a step up from a slave. He talked of a heaven where slaves were free and the "first place" people of this world will be last in heaven, and that the "last place" people will be first in heaven. His main enemies in life were the religious elites and worldly kings, and his best friends were lepers, sinners, tax collectors, adulterers, and "undesirables" of the time. The main lesson I learned from this is "Don't Judge a King by His Cloak" and that, to God, human concepts of hierarchy and class are quite silly and just downright misleading in terms of how we should value people and who we should esteem. The hierarchy humans make is not the same hierarchy that ...

Do not shed your wrath upon me, Lord But shed upon me your mercy. Do not lay the hand of Judgement upon me, Lord But lay upon me your healing When the enemy cuts me down or kicks the foundation of my life from under me, by your grace may your angels lift me high on wings of glory and carry me over the abyss. May I walk with you as you hold my hand in the darkness. With your sword, cut down the wolves and lions who want to eat up my flesh. With your word, rebuke the slanderers who cut me down amongst themselves and attack me with lies and hate. With your shield, protect my body, my mind, and my spirit from the arrows of demons and men of shadows and wicked counsels. With your heart, love me to the inconceivable depths and fathoms of who you are. With your army, vanquish all the enemies of light and righteousness, and destroy the legions of darkness and the agents of fear and death. With your Kingdom, may you rule and govern the whole of infinity forever.
