Let Us Reason Together
Learn to do right, seek justice, correct the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.” 18“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool. 19If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.…
Isaiah 1:18
You can reject my comments, but the Bible passages deserve some loving and honest consideration.1
Whatever I can figure out as “person” is limited, but when I open up, look up, and be still, then…
…the silence of my own Being constantly reveals things to me that are otherwise veiled by my busy and opinionated person, in “this world”.
Please, don’t run away into your old beliefs and opinions, but pretend some freshness, some openness (-;
So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1 Samuel 3:9
“Lay down”… relax and feel your body, be open.
“servant”… willing to set aside your own agenda, understanding or willfulness.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.'”

Psalm 46:10

I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
John 4:35
Don’t wait!
Our person is fickle and loves to hide in the darkness of suffering, superficial politeness and familiarity.
Be honest to your Self; If you believe Scripture then go all the way and follow where the concepts, the stories are pointing to!
Don’t wait for the world to become a better place, but “be the change you want to see in the world”.
Not by the sweat of your brow, but by your bravery to challenge your own beliefs and assumptions; don’t be intimidated by fears and doubts or what other people tell you.
Life is so much more than what it seems on the surface of common sense. Love — the inner space — is the canvas of Life.
All words are concepts; here and now we have the opportunity to discover where they are pointing to!
…unless you don’t care, or believe to know already. “Truth is not a cluster of concepts”, but your openness to be present with what IS — aways here and now.↩
