This Fundamental Faith

Ancient truth be told that there is nothing new under the sun. And indeed there isn't. Whatever the mind of man conceives today has been imprinted onto the tabernacles of truth in the boardroom of heaven.

Today, I had the fine opportunity to sit at the feet of a great philosopher, teacher and culture activist and resonate with the truth that I have been aching on for so long. I don't even know how to begin here. Simply, I am simply out of words to describe the feeling. It is one of liberation, two parts hope, and another part of passin stirring. Felt like screaming cos the head was exploding and I must say some part of my brain super-developed today.

Science versus the humanity of man versus the truth of God. Sometimes we are trapped in ancient fundamentals of pagan practices in our convictions that date back to deep roots of almost demonic undertones. I never really gave much credit to the study of christian philosophy, much less the subset itself. It intrigues and humbles me to discover that these so called air and puff are what makes us who we think we are, the convictions we hold and the mode we choose to relate to God and the universe we live in. The puzzle pieced itself together and my world came to a beautiful stand still - a sight that gave me a glimpse of heaven. It is, for lack of a better phrase, a paradigm shift in my journey as a Christian, as a covert activist and revolutionary and in my relationship with the rest of humanity created in the image of God. The dreamland I profess to envision unfolded before my eyes - cos I am living in this land I call my dream.

Having said and learnt, there's much to forgive, much to make straight, much to leave crooked, much to live and let live and much work to be done. But it's hardly work when you come to this point in time. It's a life worth living and an eternity worth dying for, except the dying part has already been said and done. So that love could be restored into the garden once again. For this, I am eternally grateful.
