Miltha Reigns

By Tristam Joseph

Miltha is a term for the cosmos’s unknown, acknowledging human ignorance for everything outside our planet and most of all we have claimed to discover. Miltha reveals no supreme being to be a God, convincing us to create One for us to credit for being responsible for all, being a great mover. Without a God to worship leaves us adrift in nothingness, having a dubious gift of free will to reason. Miltha offers no reason for the cosmos continuing in the eternity it is part of, promised by our Gods to be eternal never justifying beginnings and endings for all, appearing merely as transformations, changes to make existence more tolerable by loving one another. Creeping corruption of free will prevails, prompting Miltha to send us failed Messiahs. We trust in truth to rule us but our truths are never lasting, eroding by time. Boundless and eternal or everlasting truths are attributed to Gods created by us, but all have been failures. Imaginations to produce our deities approach little of what Miltha is. Our free will is exercised to be our sufferings. Miltha’s grace is abundant and unending, providing all in ways unknown. Love can employ transformation and we need no hope for satisfying our desires. If a supreme being is everywhere, it can’t be limited by borders acknowledging an outside. Miltha favors none, seeming to love all. We fear all its unknown, trusting its disappearance with its knowing. Have we reason to fear Miltha’s secrets? Is death one’s savior releasing its soul for better things to come?

Prologue

Miltha is a term for the cosmos’s unknown, acknowledging human ignorance for everything outside our planet and most of all we have claimed to discover. Miltha reveals no supreme being to be a God, convincing us to create One for us to credit for being responsible for all, being a great mover. Without a God to worship leaves us adrift in nothingness, having a dubious gift of free will to reason. Miltha offers no reason for the cosmos continuing in the eternity it is part of, promised by our Gods to be eternal never justifying beginnings and endings for all, appearing merely as transformations, changes to make existence more tolerable by loving one another. Creeping corruption of free will prevails, prompting Miltha to send us failed Messiahs. We trust in truth to rule us but our truths are never lasting, eroding by time. Boundless and eternal or everlasting truths are attributed to Gods created by us, but all have been failures. Imaginations to produce our deities approach little of what Miltha is. Our free will is exercised to be our sufferings. Miltha’s grace is abundant and unending, providing all in ways unknown. Love can employ transformation and we need no hope for satisfying our desires. If a supreme being is everywhere, it can’t be limited by borders acknowledging an outside. Miltha favors none, seeming to love all. We fear all its unknown, trusting its disappearance with its knowing. Have we reason to fear Miltha’s secrets? Is death one’s savior releasing its soul for better things to come?

Human traditions

Minerva: Discovering God has no historical beginning and no foreseen ending, with humans trusting a Supreme Being for their existence, creating them in its image, the only one imaginable, unless they chose a powerful beast as their creator to worship. A creator like them, having human virtues and emotions, would leave a deity’s signature attesting to it, with the unseen clue of their soul. With this belief humans will proclaim my Gods lives, trusting they are made in His image, and they follow Him. Being born of God makes humans spiritually alive and puts them in God’s family. Everything existed through His hands, and without Him not one thing existed of all which has existed. From Him came life being the light of all, but he was not the light, rather that he might bear witness concerning the light. For the light was truth, that which shines on all who come into the world. There can be no beginning for one who is from everlasting to everlasting, without an end. God the eternal being changes everything for us, so nothing is everlasting, saving only our souls to remain with Him. Humans think of everything having a beginning and an end, describing all such terms, adding what follows is determined by initial conditions, which are unknown for most. This rejects as unthinkable the idea the cosmos has no beginning, being eternal in its past.

Nephi: In the beginning God pronounced everything good, but never understanding requirements for goodness human beings failed Him and He sent messengers telling them it required loving one another, but redactors changed what this expected of all, and they failed.

Ansel: In God’s image I am created with virtues attributed to Him, all powerful, knowing and present, making me no less than I am, thinking and acting like He designed me to be. I am taught to follow Scripture’s exhortation to follow God’s will and shun others differing from His. He created us with the ability to reason, expecting us to figure out that He exists and be empowered to determine who and what He is like; He tempts us to describe Him in ways we would like to be. Endowment with reason convinces human belief that people can find or establish truth, lasting verities. Lasting truth is impossible; it never exists. Truths are trials testing imaginations to discover one’s able to survive until new facts appear and honored but all fail to satisfy human quests for revealing their great unknowns. We must rely on reason, trusting facts to think logically, but with the facts we create lasting little longer than our lifespan, reason’s truths survive no longer than our life’s existence.

Nephi: My will, gifted by the Creator and feelings free to express, rights making me endowed with who I am, blesses my reason as much as anyone else’s.

Minerva: God creates with information He imparts, using elements as its carriers, messengers with contents we can’t decipher other than by seeing their results. We think the DNA we discover and use to describe humans provides information on who we are, being the label identifying us, but it tells little more on what God has included. God tells us to look within to reveal His creation of humankind and all people do more than imagine His responsibility, having more than intuition to accept His role. Included with His information making us humans is our ability to recognize its coming from Him, and we develop ways to acknowledge and worship a God made in our likeness, patterned after how we would like to be honored and loved.

Birger None: Your God is dead, leaving no one to dispute my deeds and beliefs, sanctioning all that comes to my mind, trusting all I do to be right. My family expands as it deflates nothingness from balloons of faith, multiplying Nones by virtues of reason.

Nephi: People curse God, a deity claimed to have died and departed, when He can no longer be punished, being existent no longer. To hate God, He must be believed to exist, giving people reason to berate Him for all the strife He brings them.

Minerva: Do you blame the gods for disasters, following the ancients’ practices, trusting it prevents you from accountability, but someone must be responsible for everything and with the death of gods all fault falls on you until reason can judge that destiny is the culprit.

Ansel: You have no proof of God being dead. You being determined of overthrowing His government which can never be done, thinking erroneously that people created Him and elected Him to supervise all you do, historical examination of all human life documents remnants of believers always remain despite proclaimers of God is dead. God is dead for ones who choose to be deities themselves.

Comrade None: The God I trusted failed me, sending me to gods who provide my needs. Your reason is as irrational as all others, basing it on the blessing of your thoughts.

Minerva: Your reason is as irrational as all others, basing it on the blessing of your thoughts. Reason litters our mind with dead thoughts, becoming a cemetery of useless remains, the pay dirt of logic, waiting for judgment’s forgetting and forgiveness. A God of logic, reasoned to exist, according to be by one’s truth, can never be agreed upon, is created by prevailing facts and who knows what verities will evolve in the future. Gods of logic appear and disappear developing by use of critical thinking in the search for truth. Rather than relying on faith to believe things unseen, we trust critical thinking to develop knowledge on what’s invisible and mysterious. Faith enables us how to develop what is unseen. Does it surpass the use of critical thinking for its understanding? We can rely on pure faith for trust in the unseen but we trust critical thinking to someday no longer hide any unseen from us.

Birger None: Faith is things hoped for, but desire changes for everything, making it a rolling ball in heaven and never knowing if will ever stop. What’s hoped-for satisfies contentment differently for ones destined for heaven yesterday than today or tomorrow. Consciousness, remembrance of things past and hopes for all things future, lives in time that eternity exists without any need for.

Comrade None: Faith is a theory seeking certainty for prevailing facts until they lose confidence and are replaced ones by more plausible and acceptable. Faith creates its own subject to worship, rationalizing all the information one trusts, consolidating believable facts to live by, to maximize contentment with oneself.

Birger None: Faith depends on dogmas which are developed to appear true and resistant to become unacceptable.

Ansel: Ones seeking a savior to worship and believe in, professing devotion to, is an Immanuel claiming God is with them, at the vanguard with Him, never hiding in shame from His presence at any time. I have an Immanuel, learning most for my understanding of God’s messages, seeking his experiences with the Lord. Be true to your God, having created Him to bless the supreme reason you decide Him to have. If God created you, He must be obligated to love you; He must be true to all you want Him to be. We would never believe in creating a deity who didn’t’t love us, who found numerous ways to taunt us with sufferings.

Birger None: I also have an Immanuel, myself with myself, creating dubious misdeeds deemed to be so by others, never requiring my judgment to forgive, and empowered by my free will to be justified.

Nephi: Free will equips our imaginations to create something from nothing, including to terrorize us with disassembled orders of the cosmos, shattering its goodness of darkness and light, mangling its beauty of being, and instituting hatred to replace love.

Comrade None: If your Creator’s first action in making humans was to create two sons, Jesus Christ and Lucifer who became a fallen angel, both were trusted spirits with Jesus insisting on us being equipped to love one another and Lucifer holding out for us to have free will. Their father-God compromised and designed us to have both, compelling our beliefs to trust nonsense.

Ansel: Jesus was a messenger with a mission selected from nowhere known, having a soul we can still call on, needing no special aptitude we can recognize other than telling us to love one another. He was a chosen being of no exceptional natural ability or intellectual capacity. Exceptional intellectual powers are never required to be a messenger and he had no creative abilities credited to making him a genius. He was chosen to be only a messenger believing in what he delivered to humankind. Coming with a message of being a heretic, he never tried to hide and his persona was modified by a biography to make him acceptable, adding human traits for avoiding the necessity to love one another.

Nephi: Did his background make him notable, born to common people from a forgettable habitation? How could anyone significant come from Nazareth. His notoriety made his home; his home never making anyone notable. Worthiness begins where one begets it, living where it grows one to maturity.

Ansel: Who remembers when a childhood is unremarkable, only youth remember and little remains important. Anything important is remembered by parents and Jesus’ mother and father had nothing to say about him. Was Jesus literate, being able to read and write? He never wrote, with only two of his disciples being with him and available to record his words.

Minerva: Jesus Christ said it better than any other telling us to love one another, the one being all other, everything found in creation, but with freedom to evaluate anything for our benefit we are unable to find things we cannot avoid criticizing or denying. Everything on earth is for a reason but our judgment disagrees with the logic for many. Jesus tells us to remove all barriers so we can love everything being an other, everything manifests in creation’s goodness and beauty, providing survival for all life.

Comrade None: All claims of Christian customs and traditions are heretic, worshipping an imaginary God in ways deemed appropriate for one’s salvation. But they change with time, increasing their heresy, producing many levels of salvation, overwhelming their God’s judgement on what each of us deserves. Salvation’s hopes are all imaginary, beyond all assurance of dreams that could come true, and with an imaginary deity promising deliverance from our present existence, we fear all that unauthorized convictions entail.

Minerva: Our free will invites blessings of favor but also opens doors to promote unwanted distress brought about by the wrath of God, punishing us for what are determined to be sinful ways. See what God does when you abandon Creation, returning its beautification to briers and thorns, leaving you with His message, begin to care for what you have been given.

Candyed: God is loving and never angered, and we can’t blame Him for the consequences resulting from our free will choices, the need for retribution by tormenting demons bent on vengeance. We have found ways to provoke our needs for anxiety.

Birger None: You all have a deity to call on, declaring your God is with us, who can be against us; trusting your free will decisions agree with his plans, the one you regard as holy, one to fear and dread, being not only a sanctuary but a stone causing you to stumble and be trapped, entangled in a snare; you wait on him with all your trust, continuing to follow your free will.

Comrade None: Changing time is one of people’s feared dilemmas, presenting uncertainties to be reasoned out for hoped-for solutions, accompanying unwanted anxieties making life unbearable, but they pray for living eternally in a heaven or nirvana, thinking they are free from life’s unwanted troubling depression, causing tragedy to occupy one’s major moments,

Ansel: We maintain faith in our hoped-for creative imaginations, trusted to be eternal joys, fashioned from life’s experiences, protected from monotony’s boredom dependent on unchanging time. Do we wait for God’s next move, believing He acts in time, but as the Supreme Being existing eternally, time is never present and our human fears of boredom would never reappear, as would happen in a heaven of our making.

Nephi: What is most dreaded, feared more than anything else than change, with everything subject to time, documented by clocks, ticking away, never leaving anything in standstill, with each second marking its way to the unknown, fateful entropy bringing everything to the gloom and doom of nothingness.

Comrade None: If free will offers only utter darkness, never coming from your loving God, never a product of Creation, where should blame be assigned?

Birger None: Destiny’s purpose is to destroy, demolishing whatever is delivered by our free will and ordered by fate to exact justice resulting from human judgments.

Ansel: The Lord promises plans He must give us hope and a future, when we call on Him, seeking and finding Him, being rescued from exile where our free will has captivated us into fate’s unknown destiny.

Birger None: Claiming God’s image for human’s likeness, creating His profile to model themselves, people must image death for Him as well as for themselves, and your deity is dead or never existed.

Comrade None: Pronouncing one’s Father-God dead, I would eagerly take His seat, dictating new edicts my followers will take heart in all I propose, doing people’s will to establish democracy so anything can go, all done in their will, so any deity need no longer be Lord.

Birger None: Your God commands his purpose will stand, and if I am created in its image with free will I can do all that I please, having righteousness permits me to be the same, doing whatever I consider. Beware, it claims to be bringing the splendor of righteousness near, but you know not what splendor might hold.

Comrade None: Why must we be created in its mystical image, being more than a spirit, never with an invisible appearance, being deadly to behold, communicating with us with inaudible messages, sending us messengers to follow its ways, ways unknown because scriptural redactors who modify its words to satisfy human wants and desires become worshipped deities.

Minerva: Emboldened to destroy any deity, denying anyone as Lord, enlightens one to ignore any other, reducing them all to nonsense, whether a god, goddess or God, a creator or the Creator, intoxicated with depravity transferred to Creation with no other way, without its incorporation. Sodom tried to outdo Gomorrah and both were destroyed by fire for their depravity by people’s God. Depraved humans today need no deity, destroying their cultures by fire and lawlessness to incite more of the same, and anyone preaching against it like Jesus becomes a victim, so his churches do whatever is possible to obey in order to protect their establishments.

Birger None: Believing in death for one’s God intensifies our reason to rule, empowering us to succeed. Your God’s death saddles me with greater responsibility to reason and render judgments for all to live well in peace with everyone. No deity exists to lead us in its accomplishment. Our common sense directs the way.

Comrade None: My common sense holds sway, allowing reason to never interfere.

Nephi: What if your common sense differs from others, knowing each one cherishes its own, guarding it above any others, and yours joins the minority? Common sense is nonsense, determined by one’s will, exercised freely by one’s choice, justified by fleeting facts, and can only briefly unite with others to be part of a majority.

Minerva: One needs only a majority to certify any plans for following a most fair way, but what of the powerless minority left out, struggling with their ideas, ignored and abandoned with their needs stolen to gild other’s coffers. The majority has no obligation to care for lesser ones, denied by aliens stealing others’ space, existing homeless and begging for needs, becoming strangers, conditioned to be repugnant and unacceptable.

Candyed: Aliens must be feared, being unlike us anything feared should be destroyed. But what if they pose no danger and being different, we have no weapons to destroy them? Foreign aliens with different requirements for sustaining their beings should have little interest in us except perhaps curiosity.

Comrade None: I have no way to chastise others waiting to steal my ideas, thoughtfully considered and compared with alternatives, and without that my plans remain secret, trusting no deity for help, no one coming to my aid.

Birger None: Confronted by proclamations their God is dead and declarations people’s divinities are imaginary, ones honored and worshiped, humans frantically search for a new deity, modifying their convictions to discover a living deity, but their concepts of any remains unchanged despite people’s failing actions to develop new religions for worship.

Comrade None: Find a deity from religion’s grab bag to honor the justice you seek, selecting one who will identify with your self-defined integrity and honor it in ways to confirm your self-righteousness. The deity you choose could be you if you find no other one appropriate.

Birger None: Who doesn’t believe in some deity with many claiming to be Christians but do more than a few trust their God, relying on themselves, their free will decisions? We assert my will is as good as yours or any others who knows what God’s is unless his maker spells it out.

Minerva: Discord prevails with people’s freedom to choose, individual’s diversity enveloping each one’s autonomy, protecting their judgments on good and evil, steadfastly maintaining one’s convictions on justice.

Ansel: God tells us to maintain justice and do what is right, with each having its own justice to follow and to prescribe what is right, emphasizing His salvation is close at hand.

Birger None: To love one another is justice for the other, costly for me and detrimental to loving myself, unjustly exorbitant for my wellbeing.

Comrade None: Can justice be to love one another? What is Justice then? If it can’t be having both, when humans created God, they realized he couldn’t be any combination of both.

Candyed: Humans seek to know God’s ways, delving in one’s imaginations for their understanding, and we must develop new inequities to consider.

Birger None: To know God empowers one to become a god, but is that possible if Miltha rules and there is no such thing as knowing God unless we create him, giving him knowledge, we wish him to have. That makes the God creator possessing such knowledge a phantom of God.

Minerva: Philosophy shows we have believed in many deities with little interest in love and mostly concerned in seeing justice prevail, trusting in its determination of what justice is.

Ansel: We have a God in Jesus Christ, one who was born and died like us, never created like any God imagined by human beings, a God like all who ruled us with attributes like hate and vengeance, determining sins and distributing justice where deserved.

Birger None: Mingled convictions rule, each boasting truth, presenting humans with many choices, and I seek crowds where reason’s wares are offered, proclaiming we are not made to love one another.

Nephi: From whence blows your wind, driven by what, likened to no spirit awakened mysteriously within one’s mind, scattering its flesh here and there?

Comrade None: The sail of my plans, held taut by winds of my goal’s intent, driven by favorable fate, ignores the curse of doldrums and protects my destiny.

Innocence: Can destiny promise any eternity, a lasting existence for me?

Candyed: God’s messengers have told us to develop faith by trusting His Words, believing in His truth, and we will receive joy during our term in Creation, never mistaking moments of fleeting happiness with lasting joy we can claim only from Him. His Words are to bless our existence here, being unneeded when our flesh is scattered to the winds and our souls are promised to return to Him for a lasting existence.

Nephi: Do souls grieve on losing their flesh and bones, lingering over dead bodies, lamenting on the companionship they shared, remembering good times with the bad, or just carry on to the future lying ahead, never knowing God any more than imaging Him to be like us, never seeing His likeness?

Minerva: Humans need completeness, both their bodies and souls to grieve, their living flesh for tears and the spirit of God making them people, without both they cannot suffer in any way.

Birger None: I trust in my death’s nothingness promising me to Rest in Peace, with its epithet proclaiming nothing more.

Ansel: God exists as unapproachable light, blinding us when we try to see Him, a light that illuminates all He wants us to see and know; Creation’s goodness, beauty and love for our existence are His messages to establish our faith, greater than any religious scriptures written by scholars, conflicting words proclaimed to be revealed by the Light. His light fails to reveal eternal truths when our free will darkens with its reasoned thoughts and deeds.

Frankly Short: Perhaps humans are the darkness covering the earth, equipped with free will to accept the Lord’s glory of His holy light to shine on God’s entire creativity, but they fail, struggling to accumulate wealth because God’s riches are nothing anyone can hold in one’s hands, being the only treasure one can behold in their heart.

Innocence: Do you believe raising people’s wealth increases their prosperity and wellbeing, and will make the world a better place to live, helping you to love oneself better and fulfill the belief to love oneself?

Birger None: Your truths flicker for a moment in darkness, seeming to last but fading soon into archeological remains of nothingness, leaving bare bones of meaninglessness. Night’s coming to hide one’s deeds, removing the light that un-shudders my conscience, I can sing and dance without reproach, steal other’s belongings in secret, facilitate my yearnings and never be caught, all in the joys of darkness.

Comrade None: Charlatans proclaiming messages they received from their God mislead gullible dimwits into believing anything for gain, blessing all with hopeful joy and peaceful serenity while enriching themselves.

Birger None: Intuition gives me credit for revelations, and I’ll never be in debt to serendipity with some unknown higher power responsible, trusting everything has a cause and effect. We need something to explain our being and all we have for that is our reason, convinced its power of evaluating facts and our intuition can direct our imagination to create explanations for everything and most call him God, a deity with a human likeness, having ultimate powers unlike ours and being eternal.

Comrade None: We all are special, different from beasts with souls, having a means to recognize a supreme something as our creator, and developing it to be a deity who must resemble us.

Minerva: What should prevail, reason’s treasures, imagination’s fancies, or perhaps intuition’s spontaneities? Does anyone possess all necessary truths to make lasting decisions following any? Sanity and madness have convicted humans of using each one. Intuition supports truths when reasoning must rely on tenuous facts for their lasting and I am never never questioned on its reliability because verities erode and disappear with time. If reason is based on irrational truths developing from facts humans will from their trusted feelings, they ignore intuitions as corruptive invasions of their thoughts.

Innocence: Is intuition the Holy Spirit’s way to communicate with us, never using reason to equip us for knowing God, but listening to His messenger for His plans and purpose for our existence?

Seeker: Are we here to fulfill some duty or merely to seek and find happiness?

Nephi: Jesus came with a purpose, sent to deliver a message, anointed for only a short period of time, and he motivated legions of followers. He accomplished what he was commissioned to do and his life was cut short, leaving his calling indispensable. His life was difficult and his message was intolerable for its times, but has since been modified to the point that it is impossible to judge all his deeds and actions by historians examining testimonies from only several followers who personally knew him.

Ansel: Jesus was given little to know and understand Miltha which the unknown had given him, bestowing a name above all names so that at his name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Minerva: Frauds rely on reason to create new religions by blending existing beliefs into something better, because their current ones are remnants of earlier messages from God that never blossomed into beliefs He wanted, being corrupted to create new religions by dismantling His Words to ignore obedience; no creed or sect escapes condemnation and is destined to suffer, battling with each other for survival.

Birger None: My trusted reason is as good as any others, competing as believers with themselves. You claim I worship what I do not know. Do you know what you revere when your religion created something for you to worship, after multiplying so many beliefs and tailoring one to needs for you?

Comrade None: Who doesn’t worship what they do not know?

Ansel: Your reason invests in anarchy, doing things my way, rejecting all that our culture’s majority depends on, destroying its prevailing wisdom, tearing down the fabric of our society, establishing mutineer’s rules to govern. With oneself as its only authority, you listen to no messages from God or one of His disciples. Nothing. You want no deity to guide your thoughts or actions, trusting your instincts for everything, nothing more than your beastly aptitudes. Living to be autonomous, free of all authority’s convictions, never acknowledging Creation’s love as essential or goodness or beauty, you take life for what it is, existing to enjoy its brief moments of happiness coming and leaving with unexpected disappointments intervening. God is a most magnanimous dictator, but humans would choose anarchy rather than submit to our kindly gracious Lord who tolerates no disobedience.

Comrade None: Humans miss being beasts they were created from, spending hours hunting and eating, sleeping in peace, roaming in territory they control, amusing themselves in playful endeavors, living with instincts, freedom from decisions made by willful purpose, hoping to return as an animal they dream to be, suffering nothing but pain their physical body decides on. Better to exist as a critter than a human with responsibilities fraught with sufferings destined to be unending in hades or eternally in a paradise they imagine.

Birger None: Each of people’s gods are different with all vying for supremacy and authority. I join with the best of them in contests to support my thoughts, and you charge my free will with anarchy? Does anarchy rein in your congregation when someone questions your dogmas? Anarchy must be expected when more than one person insists on its way, forcing all to tolerate another’s so their god’s way becomes ignored.

Innocence: Never betraying anyone I maintain my innocence, remaining pure so harm cannot approach me, remaining silent so others believe I harbor no convictions and bear no judgments, and I hide knowledge from prying inquirers, giving no one suspicions to question my name.

Minerva: We worship our God trusting Him to reward us by increasing our space, so He must be created to be as documented in Scriptures. It’s natural for humans to create a deity who rewards us with material gains, believing them to be desired more than following His eternal truths. A deity we create would know best our wants and desires, and be honored by our worship.

Frankly Short: Scriptures require human responsibilities for their interpretations to develop dogmas, but with all history has recorded, confusing us with their content, most being unfamiliar, people choose acceptable exegesis, disregarding their inconsistencies while ignoring urgencies of their Holy Spirit.

Birger None: Repetition of hearing a deity’s messages eventually develops into raving nonsense compared to exercising reason of people’s free will, until they accept knowledge and truth developed by scientific investigations. Scattering people to spread God’s message has also never worked, never more than dissipating their ideas with alien words, creating more misunderstandings from ones already followed.

Minerva: God created a problem when He scattered people’s tongues at Babel, making Him send each different group messages they could understand but recipients allowed them to be redacted, revising them to their liking.

Comrade None: Science can’t prove or disprove the existence of God, but humankind believed in a supreme being, in a creative deity, before anyone began to think as a scientist, even one allowing people to interact with departed souls. Have scientific investigations become so sophisticated that they can answer this question? On becoming deities scientists believe they can.

Birger None: Why should anyone reach out to imagine a voice from the dead comes to their ears, trusting only in scientific truths which torch this as an impossible fable?

Innocence: I know many who speak with departed loved ones, openly confessing their one-way conversations with a dead person.

Nephi: It’s impossible to predict what’s communicated in understandings of hearings and readings coming to another, even in observations encountered by others or by one at a different time.

Ansel: I read passages in Scripture daily, delving into its same verses, and each time new insights come from its unchanging words, telling me no one’s comprehension might provide wisdom better than another’s. Repetition leads to fuller as well as different understanding.

Comrade None: Is that redacted ideas emerging from your thoughts?

Birger None: Memorizing scriptures, trapping one’s mind to accommodate single understandings, makes human thinking archaic, imprisoned by narrow-minded frozen habits to live by. Living by your God’s way is an option to be managed with a theocracy, ruled exclusively by a deity, but who would accept this?

Ansel: God’s believers mustn’t lose confidence and stop following Him.

Birger None: They lose trust in his message, realizing it will change with time, altered to agree with people’s wishes, and by discovering his message becomes a philosophy created by human reasoning, sometimes a way to avoid strife but without any love other than freedom to indulge in their desires, wants ignoring wretched conditions that most suffer worldwide. When the Hebrews discovered their God they suffered greatly, beaten as a consequence wherever they landed, driven out by competing religions, killed because they claimed to bear messages from their God, dying as everyone loved by him.

Ansel: Look at ones rewarded with every accolade humans can bestow, worshiped like a deity, but neglecting God by ignoring Him as our Supreme Being. Such individuals find the way to suffer depression and hopelessness, knowing death considers them a candidate each moment of life. What a way to suffer, realizing hollow honors are their rewards, wiped clean and forgotten by death.

Minerva: We must honor everyone. Disrespect breeds bitterness, prompting people to waste their lives, trusting all exists in futility, laughing at the human comedy.

Candyed: Is what’s done in our lives memorable, significant and worth preserving, saving because it represents goodness, love and beauty?
