WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY
WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY
Basics are fundamental. Back to basics is a call for fundamentals.
Unfortunately, false bottoms are laying about to bewilder befuddle and frustrate inquiries into basics.
"I am that I am " is the most basic, the most fundamental, declaration that one can make about oneself. It comes from scripture Exod. 3:14. That assertion encompasses God.
God is basic. God is fundamental.
Therefore getting back to basics, is getting back to fundamentalism. It simply means getting back to God.
Understanding history is not nearly enough. Before history God is. Nor is understanding religion, science , philosophy, geometry, arithmetic , languages, literature , agriculture.
Nor is understanding anything else in existence nearly enough, without an understanding of God in relation to you, first, and to everyone and to everything else existent in time, or space, and prior to time and space.
Whoever is not against us is for us. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3fsearch=Mark+9:38-41&version=NIV&interface=amp
Not against God is for God. God is.
That fact. That element proposition of divine, defines all else in relation to all else. That orientation aligns directs synchronizes harmonizes actualizes oneself to oneself and to the universe: macro, nano, nether.
Revolutions and revolutionaries must break through false bottoms, false positions, false beliefs, false leadership, falsehoods, to find God.
Then will the "rapture" be revealed, revived, reconstructed upon earth . Not before . "It is when the student is ready that the master appears."
Amen.
