The View of Life

By JAY DEMERIN

We are not the authors of life, God is. Our human nature complicates it. God's standard of Life is supremely high for a human to live it on this ground where sin is in dominion. But by looking back at the ground where sin wasn't yet realized, will give us the clear picture of what really life is in its original design. The View of Life can be highly seen, realized, comprehended, and understood through simple Truths that are being disregarded by many.

Peace! I'm Jay and I love to write. Expressing my self through words, sentences, and paragraphs is something that really brings me to comfort. It's like a breath that gives me life, to inhale and exhale the wisdom that is present everywhere makes me feel alive and complete. I am someone who is close to nature and can appreciate beauty in simple things. A man from a country side who loves to move freely on a spacious ground, not limiting the eyesight to a single horizon. I pray that whoever gets into my book can extract a piece of wisdom from it for it is my purpose. As a child of God, my rights to express my being is by virtue of God's saving Grace.

INTRODUCTION

UNDERSTANDING LIFE should start from realizing that its real perspective is not ours. It takes time for us to gradually understand what life really is, what it's all about. By simply living it in our creator's outline, we'll fully understand what's the purpose behind our existence.

I am someone who did try defining life, when I started gathering pieces of knowledge at a young age. I am so curious about so many things then and even today. I composed theories in my mind and collected ideas to confirm them. I was blessed to be living in a countryside and being raised there. At the time when simplicity of living is still in it. Without mobile phones, without social medias that can steal a lot of time that could have been used for a more prolific thing. A lot different from what we have today. Nevertheless, my outlook in life is still fixed and I knew someday I can share my mind and heart to other people. And today, it's happening.

Writing is my self-expression of what I think, what I feel, and what I live, and I will use this to impact others. As a Christian, it's my conviction to share the treasure that God has favored me. (A treasure which I know distinct from the others.) It's my intention to somehow share my thoughts and stands based on what I have experienced and learned along my pathways that exposes my worth as a human being. I believe that I should not go far from myself to know the Truth.

What leads me here is a heart that longs to inspire and uplift the spirit of others, the inspiration and upliftment that I was once received and continuously receiving. Through it, I find fulfillment.

This book doesn't persuade anyone to embrace the point it expresses but simply enlighten the dark sides of life by exposing basic truths that we often missed. This aims readers to have a sensitivity that lies solely on God's precepts.

This book is intended for Christian and non-Christian readers. This might be helpful to see the gap that divides many. After reading the whole book, we may be able to see what's lacking, what's expedient, and what's not expedient in living. This helps find simplicity in living a life and vital for living it eternally.

PART 1 – THE STARTING POINT

CONSCIOUSNESS

I ALWAYS HAVE THIS mindset: living life to the fullest, to see more of it, to discover hidden treasures in simple things. Setting my mind on how the visible things are associated with the invisible ones and how both exist and conspire to complement with my existence. Indeed right, we have seasons to sustain life. One step at a time, and a time is what makes it happen to reveal what is untold. It takes one's perception to discover, understand, and believe such. The first and essential way to get the right understanding is by freeing our spirit into perceiving every reality and truth around without setting boundaries, as a child who is curious of everything.

Sometimes we need to step out from being rational to give way into understanding the things beyond what the eyes can only perceive. To live in every dimension, we choose to be into. To be in the realm we believe can yield a unique treasure that will enkindle the grandeur of our existence. I always appreciate a beautiful soul more than a beautiful countenance. It's one that lives in perpetuity and its perpetual nature holds its endless beauty. More often, the things we see are deceptive, and the things that truly satisfy us are those unseen.

What we see, what we hear, what we taste, what we feel by our touch and by our nerves as a whole are something we first believe do exist. As we grow through the years, our perception grows and shapes our sensitivity to align with our meant belief and character. It takes some time before realizing that something beyond what our eyes can see lies the spiritual component of us.

We were created with body, soul, and spirit and these three are perfect for their own purposed design. Our soul and spirit are the persons inside the house which is our body. The real us is who is inside of us.

Our inner being soul and spirit tend to grow. We have these given senses that receive and detect
