“Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight— we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-8.
This weekend, threads or narratives about my life and dreams filled my thoughts, especially since I have been isolated in my home, without normal outside activities to distract me. My mind becomes aware of the many perspectives that underlie the human and spiritual actions of myself and others.
In my younger years, I saw the world as black and white, concrete not abstract. That changed with a traumatic event at the age of thirty in which my mind became aware of the deeper order of the spiritual or God at work in the world. While psychiatrists saw my thoughts or visions as psychotic (not real), I saw my thoughts and dreams as perceiving other dimensions within the collective unconsciousness. I learned to analyze from many perspectives my intuitive visions that I had acted on, in order to evaluate their veracity. And, with age came wisdom - that the possible outcomes in this reality, both good and bad I perceived, was never certain because it is always in the hands of God. Freedom of spirit and the mind only comes when we accept the will of God and his outcome which is love. And what psychiatrists say is not possible in this plane of perception (reality), can exist in eternity which is reflective of multiple dimensions within the collective unconsciousness.
We are often called by God to action based on intuition and love with human risk to ourselves and others, not knowing the outcome or how events will unfold within this plane of existence. But we learn in the process to have peace of mind and freedom of spirit because God always rewards the faithful within eternity. This what it means to walk by spirit and faith.
