chapter 01
If one forgets the meaning of the words and concentrates on nothing and everything, one feels the pushing and pulling. Like sitting on a swing.
Like the swing Dad made when we lived in the woods. The tree wasn't half a mile high, but as a kid it seemed like it.
vs. 5: God is light, and there is no darkness in him. EQ
This can't be true. Let us use the sun as an example. One might guess there is no darkness in the sun.
Many young women vomit to stay thin.
The sun does have darkness. Concentrated and equal to the brightness. It is all packed into neutrinos. Little bits of solid darkness. And right now as you read this, they are traveling right on through your body and the earth. And make up a big part of all of what is.
Which doesn't matter. It's just matter. The dark matter of light.
God is a concept. And it is half a concept. And it is at most, partially true. There is no such thing as him. Him is always a half truth. XY
chapter 02
vs. 6: whoever says that he remains in union with God should live just as Jesus Christ did. EQ
This might have some truth in it. Jesus rejected his religion. He rejected law. He rejected inhibitions. He loved life. He loved relentlessly. He communicated, learned and taught. He had sex. He loved to have a meal with friends. Even after getting down off the cross he asked what there was to eat.
Jesus was an animal. And his father, spiritually, was life. And he allowed life, the angels in life, to show him the beauty and eternity in life.
And if we live like that, then there is truth in verse six.
There is no truth to Jesus on a cross in a church. And one does not need to know of Jesus to find the eternity in Life. And we need to stop killing people who don't want our material world we claim is Christian.
vs. 11: But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness. EQ
vs. 17: The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away... EQ
And we can see this happening, feel it coming on. The gods are demanding their kingdom back. And the world is real and tangible. It is also evolution and instinct. And they are very godly beautiful parts of the real. With out them there would be rock and water. Only.
vs. 18: ... many enemies of Christ have already appeared, and so we know that the end is near. EQ
The enemies' end is near. The end is never near. Eternal reoccurrence. Uncountable universes coming and going.
vs. 22: Who, then, is the liar? It is anyone who says that Jesus is not the Messiah. EQ
Jesus does make mistakes. Evolution makes mistakes imperative. However. I have no doubt of the power invested in me. And I know it is bigger than me. And though mortality seems so obvious, I have seen eternal life.
chapter 03
vs. 2: ... we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. EQ
That's pretty true. As long as God is the word we use in exchange for Life. It's the job of Science fiction writers to guess a little into the future.
But they don't know what we'll be. Will there be communication between species. Will we build great jungle cities around the sun.
Will we harness the energy of the universe.
vs. 14: We know that we have left death and come over into life. EQ
We have been born again. And again. There is nothing new under the sun. In the universe. There is only variations on a theme. And energy is the mother of everything. Einstein explained it to us.
We don't know what our bodies will be in 86,004 years from now. Or 964,724. In 5 billion years. In 30 billion. We think in 4 year terms of office for presidents of the dark Empire.
They, it, is already history.
