You can surf or search or use the labels to follow a thread of ideas. Imagine in some crazy way you are watching my thoughts evolve, seeing ideas become connected , or observing an amorphous cloud giving birth to sources of light and matter. Treat this place metaphorically as a place of unformed galaxies and planetary systems rather than merely as a diary.

Fools and Foolery

How do we know something is deceptive? Fake? A Lie?

Well perhaps sometimes it looks too attractive and distracting. In fact seductive that all we can see is that alluring vision. If we find ourselves having to strongly justify this particularly with a sustained rational argument there is cause to be suspicious of the motives in the background. What happened? All you can see is this thing or vision and what is missing is God in the process! In discernment it matters which way you are facing: Whether you are already striving to be faithful and recognize there is a God active in your life or whether you are in denial turning away. Logic has it's place and feeling their place depending on where we're headed. But we can do no good if God is not part of the process.

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.” Psalm 14:1
