Time & Space

Space and time are a function of mass (matter). If there were no particles in our universe that had the characteristics of matter, there would be no space-time.

As creatures composed of matter and trapped in a space-time continuum, limited to this universe, it would seem that the only truths that we might discover are limited as well, and our perspective, subject to the physics of matter. Beyond this we have no knowledge except that which is given to us by our Father who is God.

Many do not accept the existence of God and deride such belief as naive and insecure. But, in truth, they have limited their horizons with self-generated clouds, born of their blind skepticism.

Yes, we should be observer of data. Yet, to declare spiritual data to be false because it originates from a source that we cannot measure with our material faculties is reckless.

"I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."

"He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land -- the LORD is his name."

(the above is a paraphrase from something I read this morning, except scriptural quotes)

The Eternal Promise

The beauty of the beloved awaits in the charmed stillness and knowledge of his promise. For all it's disappointments and trials, hope shall not be dissolved. For it was sown by the spirit which breathed even before the lungs were shaped. As we move in this limited form, amidst the few grand things of earth, he ceaselessly provides us that taste of a mercy and a grace by which all tears will end and youth be restored and stretched in infinite circles.

The soul does beseech him, as surely as with clasped hands or tightened eye on bended knee. Though there is no need for such things. He has heard his children. The promise, still distant, is brought to our remembrance in visions and stirrings that, while unmeasured, are exacted according to all good purposes. Glimpses of splendor magnified a thousand times. We alone, who are his, will hear his assurance - the eternal promise.
