NATURALLY ME

JUST BEING NATURALLY ME Having to choose one thing over another thing is not nearly as appealing having both things: it and its opposite in due time. We pit spiritual against material as though they were exclusive of one another. In fact they are phases of each other; one being favored at one time, the other at another time; but always both are present, viable. But the false philosophy of “either-or” exclusivities is as frustrating as the separation of inhalation from exhalation in breathing; separation of intake from outgo in eating and drinking. These are but phases of natural processes. So, a balanced philosophical orientation accepting both, countenancing reconciliation of both supposed opposites as but natural phases of human growth processes, is more beneficial than self-estrangement, fake abdication. We already well know in life both of the extremes and their means. We already have both. We already have done both or we will do both in our lifetimes. Estrangement of the self from one or the other: be it “God and Mammon”; good and evil ; life and death is untenable, is unreal. It may also be unnatural as celibacy. For God is all and all. But we would legislate for God. We would speak for God; would purport to know the mind of God, by personifying God! These thoughts are my thoughts. I do not seek your assent nor money. Speaking of money, we are taught that the love of money is the root of all evil. If that assertion is true, that truth has dissuaded no one from money’s (or money’s equivalent) avid pursuit. Mankind has being avidly pursuing money by billions of, individuals, homes, churches, mosques, temples, tabernacles, government, businesses, schools, everywhere, ancient, medieval, modern! Money is a vital necessity! If you benefit from these exercises , well and good . If not I apologize for having wasted your precious time that it has taken you to read this . If we are born in sin, what does it matter if we engage in more sin? If all have fallen short of the glory of God, merely by being in existence, why carry on the charade of faith? God is a fact because we are facts. In knowing God, we know ourselves. Why not be what we were always and are forever? That’s both: right and wrong; good and evil; wise and foolish; educated and uneducated ; perfect and imperfect! Sour/sweet. What I write, I write for refreshment. For my personal philosophical ease. May our God add a blessing to my writings, to what I have written & to all facts that have been truly stated. Amen.
