Incredulity is the very first beginning to new thought. You may catch the flash of realization as it passes sometimes all too quickly - across the mind conflicting an old thought, and there it is! The new knowledge revealed, alive and obvious, once seen to then be always seen thereafter - the true illumination … for this 'special delivery' is the hallmark of divine precepts and inspired knowledge from a higher reality than ourselves.
And the testimony of the Scriptures was often the gift of this: accounts given from souls who were so 'touched' by God, often leading up to a physical peril, many who would transverse their life's plan midway and depart into new lands, communities and objectives.
The call of the Spiritual worlds, the awakening to its dual carriage upon the Earth, gave the noviciate and the Master, the confidence to follow an entirely different plan - one that succeeded all else.
Baptism has tried to effect this makeover -remonstrating such as it was in that Holy event of the awakening and the melding of the dual pathway as then was known.
Every soul one way or another comes to this experience - if not within their life's design it shall happen just prior to death. And, with this, the conscious mind becomes enlightened, awakened, stirred, contested, readjusted, inspired, re-attuned, realigned with the rapture of this duality.
Spiritual vision and esoteric insights, offer the individual a greater peace both inwardly and outwardly - in revelation revealing the majesty of higher laws as they manifest succinctly within this otherwise indeterminable sphere.
And, for the man or woman who has not yet found his feet upon this path, there is a confusion trying to knit reason with purpose and outcome.
The World itself, by itself, would be unholy and most certainly unjust. And to many this opinion gives them motivation for living as they might, without care to cause or empathy for others.
One cannot effect this ‘revealing' with or for another; not by will or allure, picture book or even humour. However, if one offers an invitation or challenge for them to pray in in earnest - just the once - they can very very possibly, as key in lock, as light on life, as a call in the darkness, as deep memory in the soul, and as the yet unfound pearl, experience prayer to be the very catalyst into their new life going forward.
Hallelujah!
