We've got Life situation, and the Work going against Life. The question is what is the Work saying regarding man's life at present moment. It is necessary to maintain inner orientation towards Work ideas and practices. This is highly practical. What is the Work saying regarding me? What should I do, how should I behave? Israelites were summoned to heed The Law of the Lord and to love the Lord and His Law. It is said that many of them didn't heed the Word of the living God but turned to artificial worship of their own making, so to speak. It is also said that angels appeared to those who maintained a connection. They were enabled to great deeds. Think of Gideon here. Once again, how do I build up my being?

I pray to God for a quick and sudden death.

more on forgiving

Why do we who are without exception immersed in spiritual world, in spirituality, not see the fact? And yet it is so, we are. Everything around us and in us is and expression of love.

A way, a quick route there is forgiving. Forgive everybody, I mean everybody, and make it as complete and absolute as it gets. Be a machine of forgiving. (Don't just read this, do it. Do not make a feeble attempt, a try; d-o i-t. Become an engine of forgiving. Just practice.)

You will see that advanced stages of this practice merge, as it were, with other things, like withdrawing demands, compassion, love, understanding, will. It is a practice, and therefore highly individual, and there is not much to explain, although it doesn't hurt to know it will bring a sense of liberation, a redeeming element, with it. It is diving deeper and deeper and discovering these things on your own.

[I heard the above advice before, of course, but somehow I have managed to leave it untouched and I only scratched the surface, finding that with some persons I am not offended and there is seemingly nothing to forgive, and that with others it is simply impossible to follow the advice of forgving (for me, of course ... perhaps others can make it?). Now I think that many people really only scratch the surface like I did, and rare others discover this highway to heaven.]

As one dives deeper into pain, fear, suffering, they dissolve, one's movement is freed from impediments, one begins to swim more freely. Oh, spiritual advice shouted to one's ears, for some strange reason chosen to be ignored repeatedly in the past. Discovery that one is utterly dense is surely on its way too ...

Suddenly, after hanging in a library and reading what people have to say on death and Bible and Living God and so on, a resolution has awakened within me.

I no longer totter through the day. I remember the purpose now.

(This must have to do with religion. There were once means to bring people to more resolute state. Something of such order and concentration which ordinary daily living couldn't provide.)

Before, I desired to know. Now, my desire is more to be.

friends

So much friends. So much greetings to them. I'd like to write something for them so they may rejoice.

Remember, everybody I meet is a man first.

difficult theme

Why did Jesus Christ have to suffer? Everybody is afraid of suffering. I think he saw that the building of this world was sick. So he set to establish a foundation on which good, sound building can be built. It would had been easy to build upon what others had already done. That would explain suffering. It is solely upon Him to judge the value of my writing. Is it empty or is something there in it all.

some very important things

I had a complete post done, composed in my head. By the time I get to the computer today it is gone. Doesn't matter, if it is important, and I remember it was important, it will come back, perhaps in even better form.

But it is also important to do what I can, even if most of it is seemingly forgotten.

Something about the system, and some very peculiar things relating to the system, and it was connected to the previous post. About forgiving which means that our perception was faulty and the our debtor's debt didn't even exist the way we thought. (I only remember my vanity very clearly. I was reaffirming for about three times "Yes, W.H. speaks about elementary things again".)

Oh yes, now I remember more.

It was about the gang of four and how they are different expressions of, different takes of one unity, the Lord. Different angles of seeing, different approaches to, the same thing. And when there is mentioned total Unity one cannot but begin to think of God. Which by definition belongs to the domain of religion. And faith means, - it was important what faith means but now I just forget it, together with other things. Something about philosophy and truth too was there.

It was important and very alive. This is all hopelessly fragmented and withered, certainly not ripe for publishing. Doesn't matter, if it was really important it will come back.
