Our life is a dream. We are asleep. But once in awhile we wake up enough to know we are dreaming. We wake up to the “I” in which the dream is occurring. The ‘I’ isn’t your selfie. It is your true self but in which this “body-mind” as a process is a selfie. It cannot be frozen as we imagine perhaps God as a noun. At which point God becomes so familiarly a sheer topic of discussion (especially within religious inner circles), this airy abstraction we call God is only a part of our overly wordy speech. And, of course, whenever anyone prematurely concludes (through societally acceptable religious programming) God to another heady topic among other topics associated with scholastic study, this person’s chief reason for seeking God has been reduced to “the study of the nature of God and religious belief.” God is not only a noun but static sort of archeological coursework whose existence serves as an academic elective towards a person’s completing their academic outcomes. Because we have been told that God is changeless within the bible, we never consider the enormous frustrations we have about ourselves in constantly defending our resistance for change or else we hate ourselves for being incapable or too slow an object that we want to change. And there are large numbers of references especially within the Old Testament that associate the Rock with God. Such as, “God is my rock and salvation.” This is very insidious and we rarely recognize how we associate a benign word like rock with what, perhaps deep down, we cannot make any lovably relational sense with as connected God as a changeless tyrant. Please stop and put space around what how you’ve learned to associate one word with another. If, in fact but from fear, many of us look at God as a changeless rock in outer space as well as an indifferent observer or even a hostile judge, what will we most readily attempt to do, rather than be? We will desire to come to conditional conclusions about God that will not change as long as we don’t change and comply behaviorally. Now, we have created ourselves into no less an unlovable object as we have parochially concluded God to be as the rock theologians feel safe with as long as they can detain Him inside a manual. This is unworkable and equally as absurd. How often have you said or heard said, “God never went anywhere and He never changed. You did.” And, if honest, we feel tremendous guilt and shame because we moved away from God and because we changed moods or behaviors. But isn’t this what Jesus asked us to do? To repent? Not behavior, but our minds but not as a conclusion about the noun God and the noun Jesus as bound inside a Bible. Jesus made this very clear. The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. -Jesus Do NOT get hung up on quotes. I purposefully avoided using quotes on what Jesus says above and now. If it is true, it is true. Doesn’t matter who said it and when it was said. You can discern it as self-evident truth only in this now.
