Guided Absorption

We are ever changing, we are not the same as we were. Our brains are rewired, strengthened or weakened by our interactions and experiences. This is Neuroplasticity at its best.

Our belief system, our religions are the guiding forces behind the lenses that we use to interpret everything our five senses receive. This is very important, why? Because God has designed us, humans, to be as though sponges. The danger to this is if we do not have guiding principles we end up absorbing from every experience. It is true that we are to learn from every experience but we are to learn from them as guided beings. If we then interpret these experiences without guidance we become a compilation of principles and contradictions that would not withstand the test of truth. Unknowingly we become individuals creating realities too expensive to sustain. Of course, I am speaking beyond monetary expenses. Once a person cannot sustain the cost of a lifestyle, it deteriorates the mind and the body unable to retain its integrity.

There are experiences that harden the heart, devalue the soul and waste a life. You see Gods commands are not simply to control nor hinder the excitement of one’s youth. When you look into the commandments of God as Razi Zacharias often points out, it is to retain the sanctity and value of the adherent. In our times today, retaining our value and sanctity requires us to engrave within our consciousness the Word of God, Jesus Christ. In doing so we diminish constantly the power of death over our manifestations.

 If Christ is in us and is the hope of glory, then Christ by the Holy Spirit must guide us. It is then essential we allow grace to save us and the Word of the Spirit engraved in us. Lastly, the image we live behind is what we will be remembered for. I propose that we should be remembered for being Christ-like and be seen as one with the mind of Christ.
