Having only a human mind and as one of the dwarfs, Balin says ... not of the best nor brightest. I still want to THINK my way out. He who makes the light then He also made darkness, and He who is pure goodness necessarily contrasted from evil. But are these merely words in our human mind that sees only things in contrast with their opposite? I think I view death and pain as synonymous with evil. This is not right thinking. This is the thinking that is upside down. But there was one angel that thrust the seed of vanity into his being and from it envy and pride spread out until it choked him. Thrust out of Heaven he spread his seed on earth and like rain it fell and I drank deep of its evil and looked around and saw for the first time the shadows. Listen though for these are symbols of his evil, and we thnik our way into becoming what we see through that dark angels eyes. For every murdered child and every raped man or woman and every unnecessary victim of war bares witness to his evil. And physical death on this earth becomes a great fear and we build great hospitals and extensive graves piling gold and statues up as what we see as a preventative. We take the bounty of this earth and pervert its genes to feed on. we tear at our faces to get rid of wrinkles and replace our aging parts of part torn out of other species. We think to live forever on this earth. I watched the news for the very last time in my life and that was long ago now when on the TV screen I saw in the laboratory the smiling scientist pour champagne when they managed to infect our closest species with our human illness. Beside him a frightened little monkey with eyes as big as saucers looked in the camera and has haunted my heart since then. It was the very image of Lucifer, it was the very image of me. How does our Creator see all this and yet not stop it? We do not know for as my teacher says it is Gods business. I question happiness like a miser before he eats the last bite he thought was on his empty plate. But that is the whole thing right there - we understand so little of the things of this world, how then could we understand the things of Heaven? I will watch the morning in my windows and feel the spring come in the windows. And all of me with feel such love as a baby seeing its first day. For we are the children of God and made in His image. And if we understand so little it is our greatest blessing that has been given to us. Only in this state of Grace could we be raised up high and shed our skin and become spirits worthy of the Sacrifice that was made for our sake, the Payment needed to wash of clean. Come now, my Facebook Friends and Family, for dust that we are and shall return to, yet we are needed and wanted in the feast made ready for us now. Come. it is just a little way, across the pass between this side of the mountain and the other. Take my hand and we will go together.
