"The one real test of spiritual truth is faith over time. I may have only thought I loved your mother once, but after forty-five years, believing is seeing. Now I’m sure. If we replace Jungian unknowing with faith, over time we learn to see what all the world and our own flesh are showing us. Not an abstract hybrid of cones and polygons. A living God, in whose image we are made."

BINGO...We Have A Winner!

As highbrow as philosophy is, as grandiose as it sounds, it offers me (or anyone else) nothing in the long run. Unless headaches count. If my reality is nothingness, if nothing begets nothing than where does this chronic pain, I encounter each day exist? In nothingness? If so, I’m worse off than I thought (can I even think?) If my pain isn’t real though I suffer it, if my imaginary mind cannot control it (I’ve tried) than whence cometh my help? Of course, it cometh from the Lord. I prefer the imagery of King David to Jung. For only in my looking up, my prayers to my very real Creator, in whose image I am wrought, do I find peace. In my unashamed crying out to Him, a Him that fills the universe and indwells me, who sits beside me in my messy existence do I find comfort and salvation. That for today, and a bright hope for tomorrow. No more weeping, no more pain and no more talk of nothingness. Thanks be to God.
