I am constantly fighting with the contradictions that I am encountering in my life. Too many things do not make sense and the more I study history the more I see the cyclical tendencies that humankind constantly allows to happen without showing any growth or ability to change. Life seems to be a self-fullfilling profecy and too many issues require discussion, however, this is very difficult to discuss so I'll write it down.
There is no place in the NT where Jesus advocates or condones the taking of a human life. Shouldn't this apply to all of life...abortion, the death penalty, war...pre-emptive or otherwise, weapns of mass destruction...
The depth of mendacity in our society is incredible.
Only the love is real...everything else is a dream. The very reality of substance is not as it seems. Everything appears as matter but what is matter...really. The nucleus of an atom has 99.9999% of the mass of the atom but it is one trillionth of the volume of an atom, therefore, the atom which makes up everything is for all practical purposes nothing but empty space. So everything is empty space. So when you touch something you are really touching empty space...or are you?
What holds matter together? Well, according to the commonly accepted atomic theory and the wave mechanical model of bonding, electron bonds combine atoms into molecules. But it takes energy to do this...the second law of thermodynamics...there are no free lunches...so a bond connecting two atoms consists of two electrons and...energy. But electrons really have a negligible mass so it is pretty much energy. So since bond lengths are significantly larger than nuclei one can conclude that when you touch anything you are touching energy...go figure...
What is energy?
It had to come from somewhere...it has to come from somewhere to go someplace.
Energy has to be God...'the source of unending light'...Energy is the all sustaining entity in the universe. The sun is a perpetual fusion reaction that constantly provides this planet with everything it needs.
Plants takes this energy from the sun and snthesize it into food through the process of photosynthesis. The enrgy from the sun controls the planetary climate system and all natural phenomena as well.
So, all things being equal then, everything is empty space and when you touch somthing you are not touching matter you are touching energy...you are touching God, afterall, God is omnipotent and omnipresent...we are immersed in God...immersed in energy...
What is it that binds us as people or family together? That is, what is it that we feel for each other? What entity 'moves' in our hearts as we relate to each other?
Love.
Does love involk a physiological response? Indeed, respiration rate increases, blood flow accelerates, blood pressure goes up, the body tries to cool itself (sweating)...what is the defining factor in all these phenomena? ...motion of particles...they speed up and become involved in more collisions and reactions...in other words, they increase their kinetic energy...what is energy?...God...
God is love...now the expression has meaning.
What is it that keeps us from the realization of this truth?
