What the intellectual mind can not understand, the heart can...

Just some thoughts....

It is in my constant search for truth that I have come to this place.

 

 

It is a place that holds the secret of mankind.

 

I am not only a searcher of truth, but I am a scholar, someone who reads over every ancient word and phrase until there is some sort of understanding.

 

I will not be staved off by my own intellect, for I search for the spiritual meaning.

 

 

I strip myself bare of ego, gain and self, which is a feat in itself.

 

To lay bare before God, desiring only to know his will for me, and the power to carry that out, is the most brazen act of humility that I can ever accomplish. 

 

 

As I have read ancient dialogues, scriptures and books of all shapes and sizes, it has come to me how little mankind knows.

 

 

Our primitive minds cannot fathom the truth in completeness.

 

 

 

The bounds of humanity limits many of us to that which can only be understood in the confines, and concepts of the physical.

 

 

But some of us, and you know who you are: can see and feel the truth.

 

 

 

 

 

Truth: it is the voice of God speaking silently and sometimes violently into our hearts that which our intellectual minds will never understand.

 

It is the language of unconditional love that is the most simple concept ever, yet we as humans so often cannot fully grasp it.

 

 

 

Love--it cannot be seen, heard or felt with your physical being. Or, can it?

 

 

 Every tear I have shed is the physical evidence of my spirit crying from within me.

 

Every moment of laughter that I have heard from myself, is the sound of my soul shouting out through time and space, letting me know in the physical realm that it exists.

 

The secrets of man will never fully be understood by intellect, but by something more superior than time, space and physical matter.  

 

The next time you feel lost or afraid in the vast world of the physical, earnestly look within and it is there that you will find truth.

 

 

It is the truth that there is a God, that He understands your pain, that He is your creator and that we are not just particles floating around in and throughout space and time haphazardly.       

Author's Note

I wrote this piece in about 5 minutes. I did not write it with the intention to divulge the answers to the entire universe and God. Had that been my intention, then I would have most likely written a whole lot more. Also, you could at that point, be sure that I am an idiot, because no mortal alive has all of the answers.

My intention was to make people think beyond themselves. In all of the nearly 30 reviews given, no matter if they were negative or positive, the readers mind was engaged and attempted to process what I was saying. No one slept through this writing, and I take that as a great compliment.

God bless you all....

Reviews

[Dani California]

This is such a deep subject with so many avenues that it is going to be difficult for me to review this within a mere few sentences..

...it certainly deserves much more than that.
I will try to keep it contained, though I am bursting at the seams. lol

You get it.
For as much as we are capable..
you have comprehended "it".
Of course,
that is merely my opinion,
and i am but a spec of dust
in eternity...

"But some of us, and you know who you are: can see and feel the truth."

I have felt alone for a very long time. As if I see things that no one else seems to see...
I thought I was...

perhaps insane...
perhaps gifted....
perhaps blessed...
perhaps cursed....

Now that I have read this, its reviews and some other pieces of literature that have found
their way into my path, I realize,

I am not alone. :) I never have been.

This piece is beyond words to compliment it... it's bigger than that.
...it's understood.

May God bless you, always.

Peace, Dani

I am shocked at your request that you asked my opinion of this and the shock comes from the fact, that I was just having a very serious discussion on this very subject, only an hour ago. Your thoughts are deep and right at this moment, I am thinking that my creator has brought this insight of yours to me for a reason, I believe everything has a reason for its existance, whether we understand it or not, I am one of great faith, but I battle with God quite often, I argue with him, as to why he doesn't give me that slight shove or that little piece of wisdom I seek, so that I might understand what spiritual happiness is all about, I realize the physical part of humanity, he gave us this as free will, and it is a gift from him, so how is it that we use our physical selfs to gain wisdom of this spiritual happiness. Should I feel shame for a passion of love for another? when he tells us we should love as he has loved us, the physical part of that love is the same love of passion he has and had for us, maybe not in the same manner, but it
was still physical, because love takes great sacrifice, I believe it is the true meaning of the word, so my question and frustrations come from complete understanding and why he does not let us truely grasp that wisdom and its meaning, how do we become like him which he tells us to be, that it is that which we should seek in life on earth in order to have eternal happiness, spiritual joy. I don't ever win these battles, the layers of questions become so deep, I lose my ability to rationalize and I then become discouraged. That is when faith kicks in, we give ourselves up to him in surrender and know that whatever he wills for us is for a bigger and better cause. Thank you for bringing this piece of work to my attention..

Um, not to be rude (maybe a little bit...), but you commented on my wall to read this (probably not even paying attention to who you were commenting to), so I am going to be honest. (If, in the future, you don't want dissenting opinions, you should be careful who you advertise to.)

This reads like something written by a person who had something bad happen in their life and thus has fallen back on their faith as a safety net/warm blanket. There is a hint of condescension to this (the whole idea that mankind's intelligence isn't enough to grasp 'truth'), yet there is nothing here that is convincing, affirming or even inspiring. This is written for the converted by the converted. And while I'm sure you will get plenty of people telling you how 'brave' you are for writing this (because Christians love to paint themselves as victims and a minority, even as they represent more than 50% of the God-believing population, and almost 50% of the entire population), there really isn't a whole lot of substance to what you've written.

And you can block me for writing my honest opinion, you can group me in with the evil atheists who secretly want to destroy the world along with 'scientists' and all the other crazy notions, but if you can't take real opinions, your pursuit of 'truth' is a lie. Unless of course you presume to already know everything (which is what Christians honestly believe, all the while bashing people who have 'knowledge').

I hope writing this was encouraging to you and those of you who happen to share your religious belief. Hallmark has made a fine business of such simple gestures, and the Christian Inspiration section of Barnes and Noble has shelves full of sermons for the choir.

I agree-look inside.

Self-affirmation is the best medicine for weary souls....

[Sam Freeland]

The strong belief you express so well will keep you free from the intellectual insanity
that grips an unknowing world of animal homo sapiens. As godless humans ignore each
other in their hope to survive, the future of our race gets dimmer every day. Stay
with your belief until you return to God. Many writers at the Cafe feel as you do.
While you are still here, the Cafe is our home to those who have the same depth of
understanding you have expressed in this writing. sam

And very enjoyable thoughts indeed.

[Joseph - Michael]

You know, I'm really glad that you asked me to read this, because I was having a real bad week until I read this page. Somehow, it just gave me a peace of mind and I felt a bit more relaxed which I really need. But, it gave me some real serious thinking about the fact of the faiths which I've tested and have been tested as well. It's pretty ironic, I mean, just a several hours before you sent me the request, someone just told me about how much I've changed and what kind of person I've become due to the lack of faith. Fate sure got the funny way of setting everything in the untimely manners like that...

Anyway, it was a real quite impressive piece you've created for profonded thought to express in the perfect proses like that, really got my attention all the way. And it sure does get me thinking more in the positive ways. So, thank you for sharing this...

Also, it's all still great tho...

[John Stussy]

It's great that you think so deeply and analyze life on such a great level. It is something all should do in order to find out what they themselves believe in, the faith they follow. For some, it's a journey to God, finding strength in that higher power. Others, see the potential they themselves have, as well as their boundaries, and some attempt to stretch those boundaries to the limit, to make themselves better people. It varies from person to person, and all who take this course of action do find something at the very core of their being. Reading this made me reflect back onto what I have learned about myself, through life experiences both direct and indirect. Thank you for sending this piece my way, it was refreshing to feel that sense of self-founding again.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wow some mind blowing thoughts... yes the truly intelligent are those that know they still have much to learn, and i don't believe love can be felt physically but you raise so many great thoughts that we all should take stock of.

[Dave "Doc" Rogers]

Nicely done. A meditation for certain but also with a lot of thought out wisdom. It is the wise person who realized they do not know and does not accept what the 'experts' say as truth. Knowledge plus persistent pursuit usually lead to an end. Only in the quiet reflections can the deaf hear and the blind see. There is more to life/existance than quarks and quasars. I find it somewhat funny that those in the grand pursuit of impirical evidence continue to come to logical conclusions given to prophets many years ago. Hmm.

I like this. I am sure this will garner interesting commentary. Thank you for sharing this.

Cheers!
Doc.
