Our normal tendency is to keep things as it is, our traditions, our preferred explanations, beliefs… But we are unable to let changes happen where we really need to accept changes. We want to destroy or transcend every human limitation, even death. We want to change of seasons and natural geo-structures. Dreaming a wonderland it is a trap that consumes and swallows ourselves. But such is the promise beastly powers make, and by the very promise they controls the world.
Our limitations remind us that we are not gods and eternal emperors. Within the limitations and death there are sacrifices and joy. We keep hostility to nature because of our limitations, and condemn it, but become friendly with that which is really worldly; arrogance and hatred, competition, and lies. Even to save God we have hated many.
One serious thing in life how we deceive ourselves is by distancing ourselves from others and natural surrounding. It is illusioning of our mind and escaping from the real living presence of God when we speak too much about a direct experience with God. We experience God's love, benevolence, providence, protection, embrace... through the people around and through the gifts if nature. They are often condemned to be worldly engagement. The worldliness is within ourselves which we dearly protect. They are falsely justified, unfortunately, often with religious interpretations. so our deception embrace a religious colour.
God is kept far away in the very name of God.
Prepare the way for the Lord.
