Kamarainih Life. Kamarainih is from my native tongue(Pohnapeian) meaning to enlighten. This render reflects on thoughts coming to me in Biblical scriptures. This isn't a personal thing I am sharing but a Word that provokes the ideas of everything from believer to non believer. The world is a complicated one. As we ourselves are complicated beings in mind and heart, and darkness covers our world in mystery. I'm not speaking mystics, but plainly of space, time, and reality. What I am coming to learn by the Word of God, is that at the root of everything we know in every way of life, the Word of God encompasses tribulations in each individual to humanity as a whole in the reality of knowing short time, or life and death. Good and evil. Yet what many seem to read over is that God saw that the light was good. Why? Because in the light life was given being in form of the image and likeness of God who is spirit. As everything given form was good to God. What many also seem to miss is that the beginning speaks of life given form by water in the seven days of creation, then life given being by Spirit in the story of Adam and Eve.
Here is also something interestingly easily missed. The very first 3 verses of the beginning of the Bible, Genesis 1 mentions God(The Father), the Spirit of God(Holy Spirit), and the light(Word of God/Jesus Christ), as it was revealed to me in the Gospel of John. There are so much correlations between Christ and the very beginning paragraph of the Bible I am coming to see. I love the very beginning. The story of creation is very interesting, because it was written in a perspective one would not relate to that of a man such as Moses and why would Moses write something like this to describe the beginning history of the Israelites, and was Moses himself this creative in thinking of something profoundly timeless? The perspective of minds don't add up, yet it is an interesting thought in this narrative. As we understand the world and how it works, creatures smaller in mind experience the world in a different perspective and flow of time. Am I saying God is a giant being in which we live inside of? I don't know, but I do know God is Spirit, as the teachings of Christ has enlightened us. (John 4:24) The Spirit is such an important thing we must seek to understand.
Jesus Christ spoke about how we must be born of water and spirit if we are to enter the kingdom of God. Yet to see the kingdom of God we must be born again/born of the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to spirit. (John 3:6) Yes we have our practices in doctrines, for humanity. However it is fact that you are given form in water/amniotic fluid for each individual person and life as a whole, and it is fact that you come into being in spirit, but the spirit is what is lacking and misunderstood. Our ways in the "light" of God are practices in remembrance of the truth of life. Our being is so important, it is what we are called for in the remembrance of the mind. God is understood as eternal, timeless, and Christ is understood as the Son of God. It is by the remembrance of what eternal remembers, we are remembered. The beginning & end. Yet what is Spirit is still important to understand if one seeks God. For Spirit has free will.
An interesting thought that came to mind is that what produces an image is of the mind as we understand and it is by light through the eyes in which the mind produces an image or things are given form, yet the light which we see is of the eyes of flesh. A strange verse in the story of Adam and Eve is they "ate" the "fruit" their eyes were opened.(Gen 3:7) If it wasn't the light of the sun in which they saw the world, by what light did they have an image and if their eyes opened after eating the fruit by what means did they see?
In the words of St. Paul, who lost sight of eyes seeing the light of God for a short while, it is by the "spirit of your mind" in which one must be renewed and put on the "new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth". ( Ephesians 4:23)
"For who has known the Mind of the Lord, that He will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." (Corinthians 2:14)
What St. Paul has revealed to me is that it is of the mind in which we come into being and the likeness of God is of the mind in which we have free will, where the mind evolves in its being, wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, and fear.(ref: Isaiah 11:2) These are the spirits of God, the Mind of God in which we were created in the likeness of. A likeness which is observable and knowing. Think about it and ask why? Regardless whether there are other life forms(which in fact the story of genesis does imply as "trees"), the amazing thing is intelligence. As random as it is will has a way over chaos. PERSEVERE! Life of knowing of life and death, in the end of time for each and whole, life will know just life. In spirit and truth, seek Christ.
