‘The REALITY of LIFE is its INTERACTIONS’

All I can say, to start this Blog, is: “put that in your pipe and smoke it”. Yes, we are going to go ‘pondering’. And, to ‘start the ball rolling’ and create ‘connectivity’, I am going to introduce, also, that ‘all encompassing’ word: “‘RELATIONALITY’” (see: ‘Konect 1-2-1’ website VISION statement). Yes, both ‘INTERACTIONS’ and ‘RELATIONALITY’ are at the centre of our ‘social / spiritual’ focus. And (here’s more), to “get up speed” I am going to restate our ‘title theme’ with the following ‘proposition’: ‘True Reality “shows” Trinitarian Action’.

Now, as you may have guessed, the original ‘title theme’ did not jump out of “thin air”. The ‘reality’ is, I came upon the following expression ::: “reality is only interaction” (Carlo Rovelli / ‘Seven Brief Lessons on Physics’). And, it set me “pondering”. Note: I did not say, it set me “thinking”. For what it’s worth, the distinction is this ::: “pondering” (i.e. ‘circular connectivity’) seeks “meaning” ::: “thinking’’ (i.e. ‘linear connectivity’) searches for “cause and effect”.

To answer the question: “what is really real?”, I am going to introduce the ‘central mystery of Christian faith and life’ ::: the mystery of the inmost Being of God, as Holy Trinity ::: God (Father) in His Action (Jesus the Christ) makes Himself Present (Holy Spirit) ::: in essence: ‘LIFE: Reciprocal Mutual Complementary’.

So, “what’s the big deal?”. Well, if, ever, you are “stuck” with a problem that seems insurmountable (‘impossible to resolve’) it’s refreshing to speculate that there may, in fact, be a 3rd way (i.e. ‘a secret hidden in clear view’). This, in childlike simplicity, is what we are ‘pondering’ about.

‘Creation’ and ‘Creatures’ are the two ‘big’ mysteries that ‘touch’ our lives, almost everyday. And, the inference I am “speculating about” is: there is a ‘trinitarian’ code, in there, somewhere. The ‘Creation’ conundrum, I will leave (aside) to Carlo Rovelli and Co. (i.e Scientists). But, ‘Creatures’, as such, have been the subject matter of ‘Konect 1-2-1’ (eBooks / Blogs) ‘social / spiritual’ exploration, from the word “go”.

If you delve (back) into my writings, you will find the 3 “IN” hypothesis, seeking to explain, the mystery of the ‘human person’ ::: that we are ‘composed of’ a mixture of ‘INSTINCT’ plus ‘INTELLECT’ plus ‘INCARNATE-TRINITY’ ::: that the first two elements represent our ‘human nature’ or ‘human condition’ ::: these are, generally, in conflict, as the first is a ‘fixed program’ and the second is a ‘variable program’. So, God’s Big Picture, includes, also, a third ‘spiritual program’. As Christians (i.e. followers of Christ) we believe Jesus the Christ is ‘Way Truth Life’. He showed us (i.e. ‘made manifest’) what INTERACTIONS / RELATIONALITY is all about.

I am referencing (in particular) the CROSS of Jesus the Christ ::: He showed us how to ‘RECONCILE’ all differences (i.e. ‘modes of living’) via the INTERSECTION of the ‘horizontal way of life’ (social) with the ‘vertical way of life’ (spiritual). Note  (to avoid repetition): a more detailed presentation on the meaning of the CROSS is set out in Blog (13/2/18): ‘true-bonding’ eliminates ‘false-bonding’. Yes, the ‘Trinitarian’ solution is this ::: when we take our DESIRES to the CROSS we are not denying them, but placing them into God’s Hands, where they are transformed into ONLY “what God can do” ::: The Love (Father) that Loves (Jesus the Christ) To Love (Holy Spirit) ::: The LOVE that RESOLVES all “HEAD” INTERACTIONS and all “HEART” RELATIONALITY.

As has been well said, in the matter of LIFE: ‘Everybody’s normal until you get to know them’ (Book by John Ortberg). Yes, man’s dysfunctional nature – ‘self for self’ – is never too far below the surface of daily life. Hence, our inordinate fascination with seeking ‘psychological understanding’ (of this, that or the other) ‘anxiety / distress / heartache’. But, as we keep on repeating, ‘all problems are psychological’ / ‘all solutions are spiritual’. Yes, that 3rd element (i.e. spiritual) is key to restoring ‘order’ (i.e. ‘peace’) in LIFE.

Summary: IN ‘Creation’ and ‘Creatures’ God has “made” ‘PRO’VISION (i.e. VISION of ‘Perfect Relational Order). So, let us practice ‘God’s Presence’, as per Bible (Psalm 77:12) ::: “I muse on all your works and I ponder your mighty deeds”.
