A Point To Ponder

The problem of being earthy is in the way our perspective is altered: things of soul, me-factor somewhat tend to vanish to the point as in the case of a perspective drawing. The result? Our appetites and creature comforts loom larger and obfuscate the vista beyond: Truth is less than what we can grasp being in body.
According to St.Paul we shall be spiritual beings in the hereafter. Will it not then indicate a reverse process? Truth cannot be diminished or added to. Since we shall never be outside our bodies, spiritual or otherwise, hereafter must be a slow learning process. Like the many cycles of birth as Hinduism expound. Our avatars must bear less and less of the previous manifestation and each serve a purpose: where we test our pet theories spliced out of experience and nature and actions till we have reached the end point.
Truth: for a Christian it shall be seeing God as He is. Oneness of Things in terms of soul must mean that we shall be of the same essence as He is.”
The biggest misconception of a Christian must be to think heaven is where he will simply do nothing and be at rest. As long as Truth remains incomplete or less clear you and I shall have things to do.

W13 D7- My Mentor

Because I have a soul a Me-factor is necessary for me to cut through every confusion that cause and effect may create or when us and them degenerate into haves and haves-not over dollars and cents. “I was one among them,” and as Lord Byron says,” but not one of them.”
Whether we live or die we have something ineffable within ourselves that still bears witness to us. Me- factor is the mentor with regards to my Soul. Because I trust in my own identity, I do not need another to show how I may attain excellence in my life here and beyond.
How good is a spiritual mentor?
It was said of Alcibiades that his faults were held in check as long as Socrates was at hand. Socrates who realized that he had a natural inclination for virtue checked his perverse and impetuous traits to some extent. But removed from his restraining influence Alcibiades took up a course of action that was doomed. It is impossible for any one to live another one’s life. Even the greatest teacher must allow his pupils only what is patently their own. If their naturalness still can come through despite of corrections of experience and wisdom of others it both reflects the teacher and the pupil. Me- factor allows me to keep my wits about and keep focus of my soul.(2 B Cont'd)
