‘Self’ deception is the greatest “con” ever

This ‘title theme’ (in #33 mode) “lays down a marker” for all ‘Good News’ / ‘Bad News’ “stories” about ‘life itself’ –

Anything that’s not from God is “Fake News”

Our subject matter ‘touches the core of our being’ – “the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart” – and is significant in terms of ‘how we live our lives’ – “open” / “loving” / “orderly” or “shut” / “hating” / “dysfunctional” .

We’ve searched ‘high’ and ‘low’ seeking to understand ‘what appears to be the trouble’ with our innate “human condition”. We did surmise – early on – that: “all problems are psychological and all solutions are spiritual”, but we struggled to ‘get to grips with’ “the elephant in the room” / “the obstacle within”.

Yes, indeed, there’s not only a “GAP in the Market” but there’s a “Market in the GAP”. It’s like the “Black Hole” that Scientists “see” in “Outer Space”, but – ‘nearer to home’ – there’s a “Black Hole” in “Inner Space” that we are “blind” to. So, let’s go back to “The Beginning” (as per the Bible) – “God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) and “The earth was without form and void” with “darkness over the face of the deep” (Genesis 1:2). These words tell it “like it is” (‘the scenario for God’s Creation’) – there was “Nothing” / a “Void” / an “Abyss” –

‘Self’ existence is “Fiction” we fail to “‘See’”

So, a “GAP” existed between “emptiness” (‘non being’) and “fullness” (‘being’) and God proceeded to turn the ‘INVISIBLE’ (“void”) into the ‘VISIBLE’ (“form”) of Creation and Creatures. Included in God’s ‘PRO’VISION (ie VISION for ‘Perfect Relational Order’) was “Mankind” – “Let Us make man in Our image and Our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). Thus, the ‘human race’ was ‘uniquely created’ for “intimacy, fellowship and communion” with God (“Our” Father / Originator / Source). And, as the Bible says – in terms of the unfolding “Kingdom of God“ – “it was very good” (Genesis 1:31) –

‘Soul’ existence is “Reality” we fail to “‘See’”

However, Lucifer (‘the light that went out’) was not happy with his own “banishment from Heaven” and (‘con-sequently’) sought to “con” Adam and Eve out of the reality of the “Goodness of God” / their ‘true inheritance’. As we know (only too well) Lucifer – “the father of lies” – succeeded in tempting Adam and Eve to ‘sin’ (ie ‘turn away from God’), thereby – – -)))”SEPARATING”((( – – – themselves from their Creator. Here’s the ‘root cause’ of ‘existential crisis’ – – – (((the “FALL FROM GOD” was a “REAL TEARING APART” causing “PROFOUND INNER ALIENATION” when our “TRUE SOUL COMMUNION” became our “FALSE SELF EXISTENCE”))) – – – from ‘walking hand in hand with God’ (ie being “open” / “loving” / “orderly”) – – – to ‘wandering alone on our own’ (ie being “shut” / “hating” / “dysfunctional”). This (truly) is the ‘crux’ of mankind’s ‘miserable story’. This (really) is the ‘cross’ of mankind’s ‘angst condition’. This is our ‘default’ (“through my fault”) ‘Self’ hiding / ‘Self’ shame / ‘Self’ deception.

Suddenly, an unbridgeable “GAP” appears to ‘open up’ between God and Man. And, our immediate ‘human response’ is to “run away” for ‘Self’ survival. But (‘miracles of miracles’) – – – the Father sent his Son to ‘rescue and restore’ Mankind – – – “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16) – – – “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6) – – – “Come to Me, all you that labour and are burdened, and I will refresh you” (Matthew 11:28). Yes, Jesus the Christ (the “divine human”) came on earth to answer Mankind’s every ‘fear and need’ –

‘HUMANS’ are part of God and God is all of “‘US’”

That’s the “diagnosis”. Here’s the “prescription” ::: “with all your heart” –

(a) “Ask Believe Claim” God’s Unconditional Love (‘once / forever’)

(b) Say ‘Healing Prayers’: “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner” and “Lord, wash away

my sins and cleanse me from all evil” (‘morning / noon / night’)

NOTE: These “three keys” (‘in combination’) release “the elephant in the room” / “the obstacle within”. AND: the empty “GAP” becomes full of “JOY”.
