Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. I can hardly wait.
Does anyone here get the impression that there are enormous truths just beyond our awareness, that in our present temporal form we are not able to withstand? Sometimes I feel like it is not so much that our temporal minds can't grasp them, but that our flesh, (body, mind and soul), for simple self-preservation, won't "go there"? There is so much knowledge dancing just past the threshold of my understanding.
Moses' glowing face and the Children of Israel unable to withstand the Glory of God.
That burning purity. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. 'Overwhelming' is too small a word. There is too much joy, too much pain, too much beauty; I can't just spend the rest of this life weeping all day.
