THE HOLY CROSS-OVER
THE HOLY "CROSS-OVER"
"I'm crossing over," a spiritual from the African American slavery era speaks to the magical manifestation of matter to spirit after death. Similar magic has already brought spirit to matter upon impregnation on earth in human beings and in all living things.
"Crossing over the Jordan River" under Joshua speaks metaphorically for and to the way out of present dilemmas and difficulties, in both corporate lives and individual lives.
The cross-over paradigm manifests life on many planes, in many places: basketball, baseball , football , arts, sciences, philosophy, politics, history, music, religion, farming, immigration.
We were brought here into being by a divine cross-over, insemination. We are taken away from here by another divine cross-over, death. In between birth and death is life; itself, a series of cross-overs, i.e, Fetal, infant, child, adult, elder, decedent, cross-overs.
We ought to praise God for the holy cross-over! It brought us here, now. Our purpose for being here being immanent in our original essences , meaning fore-ordered, predestined, not left to rue individual discretion of any person or thing, but algorithmic, logarithmic from God, the resource and the recourse, of every life force.
