mr pete.

 

you might get recognition for orginal score, but that will only get

you to another castle in the sky. It kind of reminds of the

the " rapture therorists " . i call it 'pie in the sky' whereas those

who recognize the promise it's more like 'cake by the lake'.

 

IN the 2cd paragraph you identify with mental anguish. You say, while

building ' knowing' that it's an exercise in futlity.

Anyone in this conscious is in pain.

A person living in God's embrace walking in the Holy Spirit never

even feels any of this, nor thinks of such always have his cup

filled by the lord daily with his personal love.

 

While you express building a seperate self that is a lonely place for

the LOrd does not have a lonely place but mansions filled with joy

and laughter, and eternal peace.

There is no vanishing point point for the those angels they do not

ever leave the Lord's embrace in this life or the next. There is no

pretending for one in God because his eyes are tinged with the

eyesalve of love and all his/her waking moments and his sleep are in

Him.

 

So in your final analysis you see basic ground as absence, whereas

those who live in Him are filled and will continue to be so in the

next life. And while on ground are living in God's castle and

thinking is not of ones own mind, but is of Him.

 

Try walking my ground with me and i will show you trails of peace and

love and heavens above and between, within and without.

 

to you mr. pete.

 

here's a little treat.
