On Career

God loves the world. He prefers the natural to the supernatural. This path of naturalness is the one that leads to authentic growth, for it unleashes all our energy, humanness and creativity. Mary is the symbol of all naturalness, i.e all that is seen. Even though we are often consoled by the divine and miracles, the ultimate victory comes only by work because God has become flesh, that is why the purest miracle is that which is realised amidst the struggles and the events of life.Progress entails taking responsibility of the world and nature, noturing her and making her habitable for posterity. This work , done, in tilling mother earth is ultimately the path towards salvation.The earth is matter, 'severance',and matter must be acted upon so that it can act once more in essence, i.e unity.Work was cursed to be toil through the adamic fault , but work is not to be hated.Through the victory of Christ, work is love. In fact love is a verb, an action word, a doing word.All professionalism and career points to this ultimate aim: love. We must love what we do! This beautiful naturalness has its roots from the supernatural, the source of all naturalness is divine. From the unseen to the seen, our work , thus natural as it should be , should untimately be dependent on the supernatural, it is being controlled from thence. It matters little wether we like what we do or not , what we have to realise is that it is love. Love sometimes transcends feelings....

Faith

Faith transcends awareness, it is also - and more -about abandonement in trust, this is the great humility, that even when we dont understand, when awareness is lacking, trust in God's care about our prosperity and the positivity of our issues takes over. This attitude is what conquers the heart of God, it is such, that Mary had and that which Christ lauds: blessed is he who has not seen but yet believed!

Covenants

Herein lies the meaning of covenant. God says it is all about me, not us,but me firstly.The starting point is this intense and deep care about me and my prosperity. Now, next, is that I should say it is all about God,which is found in the absolucity, totality and universality of everything. The more i expand my heart to embrace everything, and the more i am abandoned and passionate about these things, the more my depth of awareness grows and i see that , for God, this business is all about me, that this 'everything' is in fact me. This is the great union at play. This covenant is what should find its perfect relevance in marriage. What binds and seals this covenant ,ever newly and eternally is the Blood of the Lamb, same man and God. It is more than remembrance, therein at Mass,memory and reality become one! And since we lack this capacity to devote ourselves entirely to the service of God, He comes in our place, and God who sees the Blood, becomes perpetually interested in man,this sacrifice has been made once and for all. For God, it becomes eternal and perpetual, but for us , we must perpetuate it as a memorial , because we live within the boundary of time and space,the memorial is not for God to keep loving us,His love has become unconditional , but for us to sustain the capacity to embrace His love, the weakness of the covenant has a fault in us , and that is what the Lamb has come to remedy, to put us in the capacity to be God! Memorial and reality are one. This is Mass, the sacrifice of the Lamb, our covenant is sustained because of this, this mercy becomes alive in an individual and his cares, as long as we do the memorial! Christ is both one and many, man and God, me and the Absolute!

Think!

How does this sound? Thinking that everything on earth, and in the whole cosmos, is happening as a reference to you and for your prosperity. We must believe in this positivity of things and events. And to think again, that all our good gestures in this world are eternal, that is what is meant by legacy,each tiniest little bit of action in this world becomes the word that speaks eternally, but they have to be truth to survive, otherwise Truth burns the actions and they end in nihilism. The greatest truth is not morality, it is humility.To think that we would still have thesame interest and desires and passion in the next world as we have in this world, that is why we need to purify our passions and interest ,and let them revolve around the Absolute which is God. There is this urgent need then to think, to broaden reason!

On Conquering Evil

To break any ill or curse, it is paramount to engage the root cause, that is, us. We are our greatest enemies. We start from ourselves by taming our passions, manifested basically through sex and anger, or broadly speaking, the 7 capital sins: anger, envy, pride, lust, sloth, gluttony, avarice. I do not say we can manage to break these ills on our own, even if we can, extreme taming of these can work to our disanvantage, which becomes a greater evil, virtue lies in the middle, and to keep this median we need a greater intellect. Any curse can only make use of blood as link,and the more we replace the cursed blood in us with the Blood of the new convenant in Christ, the better it shall be with us. True , one communication suffices with faith, but human that we are , we live in the realm of time and God uses time to enlighten us and others and to conquer evil whose root lies in us , but which effects lies in poverty, corruption and death.And as far as we communicate positively, and practice communication often,evil can not have a chance, because evil does not exist in things but in corrupt hearts, evil is nothing, we see evil because we are evil.Communication is important, and Christ itself is that communication, the Word, and the Word has become flesh and blood, and Flesh and Blood has become bread and wine, so let's drink His Body and drink His Blood to conquer evil!

Spectator,Player, Refree, Body

In a contest, the man on top of the competition always profits the most, true, the winner do profits, but through toils, and he can not always guarantee winning, he is often ruled by the fear of loosing. 2 groups appear to be on top of the situation, the spectator and the refree, but to actually enjoy a game , you need to have a flair for a side more than the other , so it still boils down to emotions on the side of the spectator, leaving only the refree who is appointed by the body, and they make all the gains, the man on top of the situation profits most because he sees the big picture and is able to apply judgement without exhaustion because he is unbaiased, the act of the contest is itself his gain. The ultimate winner is the man who can balance the act of engaging ,observing , judging, and most importantly being the body( the organisation ). The body is Christ, he alone is on top of issues, we need to win Christ if we hope to win all, in Him we engage,we observe, we judge , we rule and we gain, full measure, pressed down, shaken and abundantly!
