TEN QUESTIONS THAT I HAD TO ANSWER BEFORE I DIED.

Sometimes it is spooky what the Holy Spirit dangles in my consciousness for me to spar with as a cat does with a feather. This blog is about something that I thought of today. It comes about as I reflect on my life, almost all of which has been a failure from the world’s viewpoint. Both the questions and the answers I received from the Holy Spirit (the questions) and Jesus (the answers as I applied The Christ Principle template to them). I share these not because I have to, but because I need to share all with others as part of my loving others as Christ loves us. These questions and answers come from the totality of my life experiences of trying to grow deeper in Christ Jesus and move deeper into the mystery of my humanness. Can you answer these questions with answers? I won’t give you the answers because you have to die to your false self and rise to adoption as a son (daughter) of the Father. Remember, these questions and answers come from the Holy Spirit, so there is only one correct answer. Ironically, if you can answer these questions, you not only have the key to eternal life but also fulfill what it means to be fully human as our nature intended. I am not you; you are not me; God is not us; and, we, most certainly, not God.

  1. What is the purpose of life?
  2. What is the purpose of your life within that life?
  3. What does reality look like?
  4. How does it all fit together?
  5. How can I love fiercely?
  6. I know I am going to die; now what?
  7. What did Galileo mean when he said: “The bible does not tell us how the heavens go, but how to go to heaven?”
  8. Is what is real only what I can see and touch, or, like the Fox said to the Little Prince, “what is essential is invisible to the eye?”
  9. What does it mean to say, “You must die to the world to rise to be an adopted son (daughter) of the Father?
  10. What six steps lead all humans to their fulfillment as intended by their nature?

I know both the questions and the answers, but they don’t come from my humanity. Do you?
