The Morality of Ideas

Image
  “Beware of false prophets,   who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.   You will know them by their fruits.   Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?   Even so,   every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.   A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor  can  a bad tree bear good fruit.   Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore by their fruits you will know them."  -Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew. "People don't have ideas. Ideas have people."  -Carl Jung If ideas have agency, or a will of their own, then they can have moral responsibility or a moral/ethical spirit to them. Everybody who has been alive longer than a few years has probably heard someone say "that's a good idea" or "that's a bad idea." These phrases assign morals and ethics to ideas as well as gauging quality .  An idea is usually con...

  I draw my strength from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His strength I draw my courage from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His courage I draw my wisdom from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His wisdom I draw my understanding from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His understanding I draw my hope from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His hope I draw my peace from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His peace I draw my Liberty from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His Liberty I draw my Love from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His Love I draw my glory from my infinite God There is no bottom to the ocean of His Glory I can draw from these bottomless oceans of God forever, never running out of their supply. One day soon, I will swim in these bottomless oceans of God and never thirst or be in want or need again.

The Three Spatial Infinities

Image
 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, ...

Your Worth

Image
  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...

Forever Yours

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
