WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING? "TRUE AWAKENING" post
Faith is the courage to test ideas for truth. With faith, people discover whether ideas are true or false. With faith, people learn principles.
People use faith to take steps in testing principles. We often fail, but we always learn.
Imagine walking over a rocky surface. Perhaps you expect that the surface is solid and will not shift. If you expected firm ground, but found movement, you may stumble. When the ideas you are testing are wrong, your test will fail. Your intelligence helps you to adjust your thinking to better understand the principles of walking. You learn to control your balance in spite of the difficult terrain. You use faith to test your new understanding, and soon can traverse successfully and quickly. You are mastering principles.
Any time human beings put principles into action, they will feel power, excitement and joy. The realization of intelligence is what people seek. Some examples are a little child proudly showing his parents that he has learned to tie his shoes, or a student mastering an understanding of mathematics, or a husband and wife resolving an argument. These are the discovery of principles by the test of faith.
The application of faith to principle brings wisdom.
Freedom is necessary. The destruction of freedom prevents people from using faith. It prevents people from testing their understanding of principles. When we are not free to take steps, we cannot learn and we cannot grow. Love, prosperity and knowledge are all things that are only possible with freedom. Freedom brings everything good.
As a human being, the degree of freedom that you require is infinite. Freedom is the infinite value of the human being. If evil destroys freedom in any area of your life, it can limit your wisdom, your love, and your joy.
NOTE:
“TRUE AWAKENING” “the blog” will be posted on Fridays. Also, Wednesday I’ll post a Question and Answer. You’ll want to read the blog in order 1,2,3… It's a tapestry, I'm laying foundational work in the beginning. Earlier blogs is all pre-requisite knowledge. If you want to understand the whole tapestry you have to read in order at your own pace, don't skip around. I know it's a big investment of time but I guarantee if you do that, on the other side of that, if you're willing to put that kind of time into it, you'll come out of it with information that I GUARANTEE nobody else is talking about.
Ament to that, following, and reading!
Thank you so much!
This comes out of the book The end of all evil -Jeremy Locke
Great that you post it here on steemit. :)
Thank you! I'll be posting things from several references, to support the blog, and anything that supports freedom.
