YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
There is need for rigorous respect, understanding, collaboration, love, on every level of global society. The present paradigms are inadequate , having been polluted, betrayed by barnacled sediments, sentiments, interpretive applications to society.
This reconciliation, re-conception of the self, relative to itself, and relative to all existing baselines in the global community, which are set, governed, administered by such stewards of our common interests, indeed of our daily lives, as governments, businesses, business organizations, charities, social clubs, educational colloquia as universities, schools, religious institutions must restart, must be reborn again at the smallest unitary level. That unit is you and yours.
Being "born again" is conceived in religious, indeed Christian, terms commonly, and appropriately so. For such Jesus Christ told Jewish Elder, Nicodemus, one night, when surreptitiously he inquired of how he might attain unto immortal life.
He said "you must be born again."
If that was true 2,000 years ago in Galilee it is even more emphatically true now in 2016 in America. An urgency is added by our ability to extend our sensory apparatuses by technology into space, and into the genome, or to obliterate human life.
Do not think that Jesus Christ is anybody's property, even those who call upon his name, or who call themselves by his name. Jesus Christ, having "overcome the world," belongs to us all as does sun, wind, water, moon, dirt, life.
Innate inside you is the knowledge needed for you to be born again. I cannot tell you what that is for you. Jesus did not tell Nicodemus, if he knew himself. Certain knowledge is exclusively in the province of God.
But, we each woke up this morning. That is a hint as to where to start; start where you are, with yourself!
From there you may spread abroad to personal levels, to family levels, to local levels, working in tandem with others who are being reborn in blessedness, knowledge, wisdom, power, prosperity; then agglutinate, to combine, spread ratably abroad, to be multiplied across the globe.
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4.
