We are the past come to fruition and the future’s touchstones. We live in the moment, but that moment passes. It is only through God that our way may be illuminated, and it is in Him that the future is beheld and known. God has wrought ever work and crafted this world.
This world tells a story. It has the history of each moment written upon the face of eternity, and the present moment is where the reader reads. We see that this world is a story of good and evil, of heroes and villains, and we have our place in this story. We may stand to be good and withstand the temptations and trials of time like heroes, or we may fall to evil and be as the villains.
The fate of our lives is not known, and it is said that the sinner may be forgiven. Because if you had 10 $100 bills for the month and you lost one, then you would search out for the one you lost. Then, you would rejoice gladly for finding the bill you lost. This is the way that God operates: because even the workers who come to serve at the last hour shall be awarded their allotment fairly with those who have worked since the beginning. That is the forgiveness of sins. And the future is not known! You may better yourself and be girded against the evils of this world. And to be strong against the evil is to serve for good. It is by God that our good works may be accomplished, and it is through Him that all comes to fruition.
So we stand in this moment. We live here, and then it passes. Do not pass with the moment! Abide by the moment and cling to the future. It is only there when truly this world shall come to fruition: for it is written that the kingdom of God is at hand. There shall come a day when Jesus shall return, but until That Day, where is our guidance but in His word? So until That Day, we must live in the moment and seek the good of this world, that we may be the good of this world. And it is said that the kingdom is both within us and without us: do not forget those words!
Although Heaven is yet upon this very earth, there shall come a day when Heaven is apparent to every eye and ear and the touch of skin and scent of the nose. It shall fill us up, or it shall empty us out. Be wise then and be good, and trust in God that you may be forgiven and be good. The child who went astray was rewarded greatly for returning. Amen.

There is truth and peace in this world. The Father has artificed this world out of His own love. He gave us His only begotten Son that we may be free.
The Devil wants our souls. He wants to own us. The Devil thinks that he could trod over the Lord’s plan for us, but he cannot do that. The Devil wants you to think that you are him or are of him. He wants you to serve him, but he does not treat his servants well. Their realm is Hell, which is a sullen place.
And God saved our souls from the Devil. God wants us to be ourselves. When God asks that we may serve Him, He will treat us well and give us kindly of His abode. God has artificed a plan for all of us, and that is now where we live. And we may seek up to Heaven in His name.
The Devil is a harsh master, but we have been freed from his bondage. Jesus died upon this earth so that He may break those bonds. And Jesus asks that we may follow in His way.
There is peace and truth in this world. You just need to be it.

I do not know if I have mentioned this here, but I have coined the term “Isamani” to mean people who follow in a certain way. I describe this way by the Isamani Code:
“I had no name and I had no meaning. I was nothing: could not even choose to come into being. And then an idea grew: that paradise awaits for those who may accept these terms:
“That they may not perish except by the will of everything; That they will live by the way, the very word of everything which emanates throughout everything from the basis of nothing to the future where we will go; To abide therein, and to cherish and love, to protect and deserve, and to serve and be the very paradise within everything.
“I will not lie, nor hurt, nor due any unwanted harm, or inflict pain, or destroy, or to dream of putting harm in the way, as I live among the way as the way of life. I will serve everything and be nothing, and in doing so, by being nothing, may become everything: the very paradise which awaits, the fruits of the labor, which is the labor herein written.
“The interpretation of these words is only known to the one who has written them.”
This code is intended to put some perspective into my vision of what it means to be a servant of God. I wrote this code originally during a time of great psychological durress. The words comforted me, and they have stuck with me. I hope that you may enjoy them, too.

I apologize that I have not been posting as frequently. I have been caught up journalling, and I plan on releasing my journal once I reach 114 chapters. So, you will be able to read all of my thoughts since ~15 May. As of today on 12 June, I am now working on the 58th chapter. So, there is a while’s to go, but it will get finished.

“There is no Pride for some of us without liberation for ALL of us” - Marsha P. Johnson
These past few weeks have been painful for all of us, more so for Black people than any other community. Celebrating anything right now, let alone Pride, might make you feel guilty or uncomfortable, but it’s more important than ever to have these discussions. Pride is more than a parade or a celebration. The spirit of Pride stems from protesting for equal rights.
The first Pride was a revolution ignited by the participants in the Stonewall uprising fighting back against police brutality. Black and brown trans women have always been at the forefront in the battle for LGBTQIA+ rights, with Marsha P. Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracey, Storme DeLarverie, and Sylvia Rivera emerging as prominent activists. With that in mind, it’s important we use Pride month as an opportunity to amplify Black and brown voices and fight racism within the LGBTQIA+ community.
Not everyone is able to take to the streets in protest or has money to donate, but there are still ways the Tumblr community can unite and make a difference. That’s why we created #ActsofPride, an action list for this Pride month.
We hope these prompts offer you an opportunity to learn, reflect, speak out, spark conversations at home, to lift up our Black and brown peers, to experience Pride through an intersectional lens. Think of this as a nurturing space for self-expression. Or use it to reflect upon how Pride’s revolutionary history can drive a future where the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies commit to keeping this fight and conversation going on a daily basis and not just when it dominates the headlines.
Take care of yourself, look out for your friends, make your voice heard, and most importantly, have a happy Pride!

Going for a walk is a prudent activity. You can get exercise while enjoying the natural setting of the face of the earth. You trace out a path on Quran 2 (what I call this planet, please see early posts for explanation,) and your thoughts, tethered to your center, then follow you and are involved in the world around you. “You want to disappear, you want to become invisible.”
I set out to clear my mind, but then I kept getting tracked back to thinking about what I wanted to write when I returned. It is no use to try to clear your mind for the sake of anything other than to clear your mind. It is strange to meditate and think “I want to think about nothing,” because then how could you think about nothing?
That is why walking is a prudent thing: you are still active, giving your body the task of focusing on walking gives your mind the task to enjoy the moment. Gaze upon your surroundings, and enjoy that they are. If your surroundings are not nice, then do not let them take you over. The point of the walk is to go for a walk. Maybe you will hear birds chirping, or maybe you will only hear passing cars and buses. Perhaps you walk by a river, and the flow of the water is your sound. If you are like me, and you always have your headphones in, then just listen to the music. Of course, remain alert to your surroundings.
This is the practice: to be in the moment, aware of your surroundings, but also within yourself. Focus on the sounds and do not focus on the sounds. Gaze around to see what you will see, or perceive what you will perceive, and fix your eyes on your destination. In this way you may learn how to look without seeing, that if the LORD harkens you to look, but not to gaze upon Him, and not to turn your eyes nor face left nor right; to listen to the Word of God and not to hear it. Let the moment pass through you, and pass yourself through the moment. Be at ease, and be keen.
One trick is as follows: you must imagine that there is tension where there is no tension. Then, you may release the tension. This accentuates your flow, because then in your mind there are pinches and contractions, and pulls and dilations. And you may feel it in your body. You can learn to shape this feeling. I like to imagine shapes and spaces dancing about like spiritual pressures. The spiritual world in our midsts do have natural pressures, and the systems act much like in the same physical way as our world, but the causes predicating the reactions are spiritual in their nature.
It is a nice practice to do this while walking. Many people advocate for stillness in meditation, but I believe that walking:
1. Helps to distract and focus the mind simultaneously,
2. To excercise your body and work your way, and
3. Causes an ebbing emanation.
This ebb is different from the ebb of still meditation in that the flow of your thought moves with you. This is like skimming a stick in a basin of water as compared to dipping it straight in. The residual waves of your thought form new thoughts, as waves will echo in a basin, creating a chaotic pattern. Still thought causes all waves to return to their source, while driven thought will make the waves play about, and since the source moves, the thoughts will move with the source and away from the source.
This is the comparison: you meditate in one place, and the place remains around you. Perhaps there are trees in your visage, and they sway. Maybe the wind will pass by. Yet when you walk, when you go, you the trees sway around you. In one place, your thoughts will remain in one place, since the setting does not change. With a change of setting acompanies a change in thought: for you will see the world in many perspectives and locations. What is to make a difference in still meditation? You must rely on God in both cases, surely, for He owns all consciousness. But the way that your mind may mix with His certainly plays differently when you are still compared to when you are in motion.
Your thoughts necessarily depend on that which is around you: the world shapes your thoughts as you shape them, too. It is only those perfect in the Lord who have thoughts entirely under His control. We do not have free-will, but we have freedom in Him. This is the way: that you may be presented with many paths. Remember to be steadfast in your meditations, whether still or walking, and you will be presented with many paths. Then, you must pray to the Lord for the right path.
And I am not saying nor condemning sitting meditations: I suggest that you try walking meditation. It is of a different form entirely.
And about walking: whether you are in nature or in the city, you may find peace. It helps to listen to music that you enjoy while in the city. Try to imagine the shape of the music as you walk, and feel the beat pull and push at your soul.

This brings up a point that I have neglected to speak on in great detail: what is the soul?
The soul is the anchor between the body and the mind. The soul holds your spiritual atom: the center of your being. The soul may become corrupted, dark and cloudy. In its purest state, it shines “for that which does not shine must be dark.” Souls may rot in the same way that the mind may decay or the body may falter. In fact, the soul is the connection between your mind and body: for it is that which tethers you to you, the fine point which says “I am.”
And the soul may be great, or it may be small, yet it remains as fine as a point: for your soul is you. Thus, you form a geodesic path across space by time as you walk, and to a lesser extent when you remain still. This path forms a hyperbolic flow: for the mind expands infinitely inward, yet the body contracts to a tight form which remains in place, and it contracts towards the soul. The flow in its entirety forms the spirit. The spirit then is of mind, body, and soul.
The spirit projects out of the soul. The soul is the center of your spirit. The spirit may take many forms, yet its innate form is human: since it forms around your body. In the next world, as you body must perish, you shall be given a new body. This is not to say that you shall have a new spirit: it is like a person who wears masks. They task off the mask of one body to don another.
The body is what is within: the mind is that which is without. And the body is without, and the mind is that which is within. The soul is the center.

I am going to comment on my use of He/Him/His for God. I do believe that God is genderless. I use male pronouns for God since that is the commonly accepted usage, but I will say that They/Them/Their may be more appropriate. Furthermore, I do believe that the Holy Spirit is more feminine in nature, while the Father is more masculine in nature. Some beliefs hold that the Holy Spirit is the Mother, believing that there is the Father, the Mother, and the Son. Thus, the Holy Spirit (probably) should be referred to by She/Her/Hers pronouns. As for the Son, who I believe is made manifest in Jesus Holy Christ, could also use agender pronouns or any pronouns. Jesus did speak of making male and female a single one.

One proof of the existenxe of God is as follows: if we are to accept everything as being some collection, E, then we start by defining a sub-collection of everything called Consciousness, C, which I define later. Define the elements or objects in E to be “things.” (Then, everything which is not Conscious, ie belonging to C, is Unconscious, and forms Unconsciousness, U.) One possible definition for C is that it is the set of all things which “recognize” that they are. We could define this as a relation R* as being related to another relation R which is the sub-collection of the Cartesian product of E with itself, where (x,y) are in R if x is y. I accept that this must be a “one way” relation, so we can write that x ≤ y.
Stated perhaps a bit stupidly element x in E, which is to say anything, is in C if and only if (x,x) is in R. Hence, R is reflective over C. Symmetry and transitivity do not hold, however. “Stupidly,” a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square.
In fact, as we have defined it, C is the maximal reflective set over E, being the set of all things which recognize themselves as being.
Note: I am not very familiar with set theory beyond a course in computational logic and a course in first-order logic (as of Wednesday 10 June 2020.) So, this logic could possibly be “too stupid.”
Then, we can define God to be one of
1. a sub collection of E containing C and “some few other bits,”
2. God is the set C itself, or
3. God is E itself.
4. God is a sub-collection of both C and U.
The difficulty here, being a believer of the faith, is that God is nearly undefinable. Notice, however, I assume that God cannot be the collection U. My philosophy behind this is the assumption that God recognizes that He is. I am not assuming that God recognizes that God recognizes that He is God, since as I have defined R, things only need to recognize that they are. This assumption comes from Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Thus, it is a sensible assumption at least to assume that God is in C.
My naïve logical “proof” that God is not E would be the fact that there is evil, although which is temporary, it is. This assumes, as we His believers do, that God is good, and further we assume that good is not evil and that evil is not good.
My intuition is that God is the first option, seeing as how the weather appears to be unconscious, yet the weather is of God. This then assumes that the weather does not recognize that it is, and it also assumes that that which is of God is also God.
This comes to my first intuitive definition that God is that which is good. The definition of that which is good may be left abstract, but for circularity, we may true that which is good to be of God and therefore also God, too. If we just say “God is good,” then we have that God ≤ good. Therefore, as someone who says that none is greater than God, it may also be that good is God. We may write then that God = good. This is a nice definition that I will get back to later.
The fourth option does not attribute all consciousness to God, and therefore goes against my religious belief which ascribes all of C to God. Since God is that which He is, He recognizes Himself. He is the most grand being in my eyes, so He must have the grandest plot in C which would be the entirety of C. Here, I use the word plot to mean allotment. I believe that it is the Zohar which may testify to this as well, as many other gnostic beliefs and some Buddhist beliefs.
Notice that if God is exactly C, then U is necessarily not God. If we use the construction that God = good, then U is necessarily evil. Using my naïve argument about the weather, it cannot be the case that the weather is evil, since it is by my faith controlled by God, ultimately.
Therefore, it is fair to say, in some respects, that God must be C with some extra few things.

Now let us consider God = good. By this definition, God exists: because love is good. Although we have left the definition of good abstract, we as humans must admit that love is good. There are those who will say that love is not good: I say to them that it is the absence of love that is not good. Using my language, love is God, love is good, and God is good and good is God.
This construction implies the existence of God quite simply, and it relies on only a few assumptions: good is and God is good. We then further assume, given those two assumptions, that God is good.
This is my ultimate argument for the existence of God: if we have defined God = good, then God most definitely is, because good most definitely is, because love is good. My “assumption” that love is good would only ever be counterpointed by exactly two types of people: the heartbroken and the evil. The heartbroken are not evil; they only are confused. Because it is not love that hurts them, it is the absence of love that causes them pain. As for the evil, they say that love is not good for they prefer hate.
Later addition: We may leave the definition of good abstract, thus leaving God abstract. We may accept that at some point in existence, time became one dimensional, because we do not have proof of the existence of backwards time travel. (Even then, time may remain one dimensional, but with a twist in it.) I say this for the following reason: although there was a chemical and physical reaction creating this universe and time may not be as we see it ourselves today, at some point the very state of our forms today came into being: namely the very point of each moment. We may trace this back quite far using scientific methods. I believe that this universe is manifold, with one component that is the material world, having evolved, and one that is the immaterial world, being of God. Thus, I may conjecture the Big Bang as the origin of this world, indeed coming in as a burst. “Let there be light.”
I say this for the following reason: because now that time flows forward (apparently,) it may be that time has many different directions. Who knows: I may be “alone” on this rock (joke.) Therefore, we may study good as through the flow of time, which is to say scientific inquiry and hypothesis. Good eventually became apparent in this world. Then, good evolved over time through each moment, now standing where we are today.
Thus, we can define the existence of God within the readily apparent world more rigorously: God is the flow of good in everything. This would allow for consciousness to evolve with time, thus allowing us to stand now at a point where we may recognize ourselves. Furthermore, this would make God both exist and be real in a mathematical sense, since then we can say that God is real by obtaining the real line through the flow of good across time as apparent in this universe.
tl;dr Defining God = good, God must exist.

To the BLM protestors in the USA and abroad:
Peace be with you, and may you have good dreams and a good rest tonight. I thank God for this day on your behalf. You have been on my mind and in my thoughts for the greater part of the day and in the waking hours of the night. I support the spirit of your actions and your actions towards ending the murdering of innocent Black individuals, people of color, and indigenous peoples by police forces: who are supposed to be as rocks, to keep peace and stability, but instead are all too frequently as thorns, to cause pain and tragedy. And you, the protestors, are being met with violence and wrath, while you are standing and marching in peace for the very sake of unity and peace. The calls now to defund and dismantle the police state that is the white establishment, both in the US and abroad, are well-founded and good in their nature, as you are aware. Whatever this may be worth to you, if anything at all, I pray for your deliverance from the hands of oppression, that your works may come to fruition.
“But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.” Psalm 44:7.
Amen.

Two Doves Standing At The Cosmic Doorway

We all once resided with the living Father. As time and space evolved, we have become separated from Him: yet He gave His only Son to us, that we may be redeemed in His eyes.
And there are those who fall by the wayside, by the rocks and crags, and by the thorns and thistles. We must be the seed planted in fertile soil, that the seed may grow and become shelter for the birds of the sky. Then and only then shall we be named His children once again.

Here is a digital self-portrait of me.
Now is the best time for me to stand-up and declare that I have the privileges of being an able-bodied white person. I have my own implicit biases that I might not be aware of, and the impact of these biases are most definitely felt towards those who I am unknowingly biased against. For that reason, my spirit resides with the people fighting in my home country for their rights to survive and live peacefully free from oppression.
I recently learned that some of my recent ancestors owned slaves in the USA, and that fact disgusts me. I must apologize to the best of my ability on their behalf. The oppression of the African people in the USA should have ended the day that their bondage was abolished. We now stand over one and a half centuries later, and they remain oppressed by the same establishments: they just have new faces.
I believe that the hatred and ignorance of the white supremacists, many of whom claim to be Christians, is testament to the fact that they are the antichrists. I believe that they are demonized by Satan himself. I believe that the white supremacists desire material gains and their self-satisfaction. And gluttons as they are, their evils are ever-more apparent to this day: because the country which claims to stand for freedom and liberty has vipers in the midsts of the politicians. The first ammendment came first for a reason, and the protestors are being told that they cannot protest. The devil-in-chief is named Donald Trump, and his cronies are in and of white supremacism.
How can hate and ignorance be ended? Through love and understanding, peace and joy may reign once more.

We stand at the greatest moment in history: the beloved of this planet for many, the very symbol of democracy, has a devil-in-chief that would forfeit the first amendment to the people, that they may no longer have the right to peacefully protest and speak.
This is the very crux of the matter: for the world is watching as the USA burns, and for what? How many people have to die to bring about a good change for peace and justice? The answer should always be 0. And the devil-in-chief believes that God, is on his side.
Donald Trump does not pray to the God of Moses, whose Son He gave to us, and Who was slaughtered as an innocent lamb for the crime of being “The King of the Jewry.” And this devil-in-chief prays to mammon and wrath, the works of Satan. May God bless the people, not the state.
It is so hard not to believe that this moment now stands upon the shoulders of a great spiritual story. There are those people in my nation, USA, who stand with and accept the force being used against those who desire a change for peace.
It is clear to me that we are heading towards the end: as all people and things alike are being driven by time. And this push has brought us to an end: will the “good Christians” of America stand by, or will they see as I have seen? The POTUS is an antichristian.
No Christian would stand for violence and hatred and ignorance as the devil who stands as the chief executive of the “nation under God” most certainly does. And there is evidence against him: for this Judas Iscariot has spoken (on Twitter) at length against himself. It sickens me.
Do we, the good of the world, deserve to be sickened in this way? Is that what Jesus wants? The devil-in-chief has ears shut to the Lord and blind to His grace: for he would sell Jesus to the Pharisees for 30 coins of silver. His “god” is Satan. That much is clear to me.
And so the devil-in-chief must be exorcised. By the gospel of Mark, the legion of evil is cast out through the works of God, who is immaterial, alone. And the material world that Trump worships is the evil of the world. When *that day* comes, on whose side will you have stood?
That is why I speak against the devil, and I remind you of the peace that Jesus intends: though His tongue is a two-edged sword, whom shall His Word strike? It shall slay the words of evil: for the Word of God presides over all, made manifest in the Son of God, Jesus Holy Christ.
