Search me O God

 In Psalm 139, King David said:

"Search me O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts"

This is a personality to obtain, an achievement of training and wisdom. Scrutiny might seem like a deadly murderer, audit a killer. But those who live comfortable in scrutiny are themselves and those who prosper in fear of scrutiny keeps on running away from being themselves.

Pendapat tentang Sermon of the Mount

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, dengar podcast Joe Rogan dengan Jordan Peterson dan Jordan Peterson memberi semacam assurance tentang arti dari "Biarlah kesusahan sehari untuk sehari". Berdasarkan pengertianku dia mencoba mengoreksi orang orang yang mengartikan hal itu sebagai Tuhan Yesus menasehatkan kecerobohan padahal maksudnya adalah ada hal yang dari Tuhan untuk hari itu, itu saja yang kita lakukan tidak usah tamba tambai kekhawatiran kita segala. 

Ok daripada semakin salah lagi seperti permainan kereta bisik bisik, langsung saja saya berbicara tentang kesimpulan saya pribadi:

Lakukanlah apa yang benar pada hari itu, kalau kekhawatiran menyulitkan kita untuk melakukan hal itu, untuk apa kita khawatir? 

Jadi maksudnya kalau menabung atau berinvestasi adalah hal yang baik untuk dilakukan pada hari itu, ya lakukanlah itu juga. Kalau menolong orang, berterimakasih, belanja, adalah hal yang benar untuk dilakukan pada hari itu, ya kenapa tidak. Besok akan ada hal yang benarnya sendiri, yang penting kita selesaikan hal yang benar untuk dilakukan hari ini maka kita akan berada pada jalur yang benar. 

Nah apakah khawatir bisa membantu kita menemukan apa yang benar? Disinilah kita bisa menemukan alasan dari adanya kekhawatiran dalam diri kita. Apakah kekhawatiran malah lebih mencondongkan kita untuk tidak melakukan hal yang benar? Itulah yang dibicarakan dalam Sermont of The Mount... kalau saya interpretasikan dari pembicaraan di podcast itu.

Drawing in Hate v.02

The Game that I play often is War of The Visions - Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, it is a mobile game, a Gacha and also a turn based strategy game derived officially from Final Fantasy Tactics. Within the game there's this status effect "Hate" which draw enemies to attack the character. This status currently is used only to one's self or ally, probably it could be interesting to increase hate on the enemy but let's not go there for now. The use of drawing in hate on your character is so that the enemies' attacks wouldn't be directed towards other characters. The character that got Hate up usually are bulky and would be fine taking a few hits. 

Such concept also exist in other games, to tank, or to kite. Now how's that related to Christianity? One thing that I overlooked about the death of Christ is that ever since the beginning, Christ knew that He was about to endure "injustice". He didn't manipulate the world so that all of those injustice would be directed to Him, but like one's action would have the opposite reaction, everytime you set yourself to be ethical and good and Just, there's always resistance in one way or the other - from yourself or from other people or from nature.  

If we looked at what happened during the crucifixion we could see that some of the people who wanted Him dead ended up feeling bad about it, the soldier who was supposed to be an enemy ended up giving Jesus something to drink. After the crucifixion, Jesus ended up being resurrected, obtained corporeal body, and even more amazing access to the miracles of life. Jesus also was rewarded by The Father with properties in Heaven. My point is when you knew the injustice is coming and you converted those injustice into something that's actually or Truthfully good for you, then the injustice would became Justice. 

A note from 12 Rules for Life by Dr. Jordan Peterson:

"Treat yourself like someone you're responsible for helping"

Reward yourself after injustice, (at least) and then reward others. If you could, plan ahead how the sure thing that's going to come could be used for good. Be aggressive, abuse it, and hopefully this is the angle where net injustice could Truthfully go down permanently in reality.

Ecclesiastes, Gacha Games, and Property

I was thinking about Ecclesiastes while watching pastors and religious people on youtube talked about it. Then some thoughts lined up in my mind. Ecclesiastes are talking about how maxing an aspect of life wouldn't be the answer to all of our problems. Maxing wisdom wouldn't always translate to pleasure and health, maxing pleasure wouldn't translate to wisdom or a fulfilled life and relationships (I took a bit from the songs of solomon here), maxing wealth wouldn't translate to lasting values. 

There's always going to be needs, different people different problems.
Beyond every solutions lies further problems
So what should be the goal of my life?

Walk with God

Psalm has the answer right? 

Put the highest value to God's commandments and the fear of the lord, that's the lifestyle of one who would always live with problems... wisdom (although the pursuit and the achievements of wisdom wouldn't complete your life all the way).

Notice that the commandments of God were passed down in the form of restriction. Yes there were instructions like "Go to Canaan", but the law was the 10 commandments and they were all restrictions. Don't do this, don't do that, well honoring your parents is an instruction yes I was wrong about that sorry. The point that I'm trying to make remains though, that the law is about sin what is sinful what is bad what is not to do. 

Why is the law the answer to setting up the goal of life? In my opinion it's because beyond restrictions there are freedom because after you've observed the law you'd be free to be and to do the rest of life. The law speaks God's bestowment of Authority over one's self, so that we are not being under the authority of another person or other people, only God and the law. That's freedom, that's property, that's the perimeter set for the sake of our room to own.  

As a Christian I'll refer to Jesus' saying "The Truth will set you free". This is another nuance to the notion, which is the fact that laws that don't connect with the Truth would become obselete. So you would always want to refer to the Truth and not just the wordings of the law, the relationship between the current and the order. 

It's amazing how gacha games of now really capture this archetype well. Collecting a type of resources won't guarantee one's access to everything that's being offered by the game, even when exchanges were available there were still rates and they might not be fair. I think about this parallel and consider how the advancements of technologies led to mathematical machines, computers, and the internet. How such technologies are the collection of knowledge, compact manifestation of ingenuities and many many laws of nature, wisdom. So products made on top of them would also carry the wisdom of history in them. As much as the popularity of the low estimation of the people towards games and online entertainments, hidden within them are treasures of Atlantis.

Further into the Spirit of Truth v.03

This post is actually a consideration rather than a conclusion,

If spirits are inclinations then "The Spirit of Truth" is the inclination of the Truth

We know that we are here now, and we could rely on the fact that the world wouldn't just end *snap just like that without reasonable sequences. There is a force of preservation that prevails, the truth inclines to preserve itself. 

Sustainability is another word for Goodness, and such is the meaning of Loveliness

So that would make the description of God in the bible makes more sense. The Spirit of Truth wants to throw away be done away with parts of the truth that's not sustainable and create the Truth that's good, Lovely. 

The whole truth at this point in time, is it actually not "The Spirit of Truth"?

Edit: Sorry for the mistake

Pick a side

Chaos into order, Light and dark, before and after, our existence is composed of polarities. 

When you stopped in esteeming evil negatively, you wouldn't be able to help but to esteem other things negatively instead. 

Evil is the potential for misallocation of resources. For me, Love, the Truth, and Wisdom are resources as well

SIMPLE v.03

God is the Spirit of Truth, God is Love

So reality is heading towards improvement

Satan is the father of lies

--------------

So this is the meaning of these details: That by just removing lies, everything is going to sync well.

Not only lies in terms of knowledge, but also lies in terms of wisdom.

The reason of all problems in the world is, one's believe in lies, so upon the removal of lies the law that answers what to do next would be revealed in each and every one of us' heart. (Doesn't mean that there would be no more need for the law to be formulated, such formulation still could be a part of it even though everyone knows what's right already. I mean what's right could be the formulation of some written law as well). 

What I'm saying is... there is the right answer / are right answers in reality of what's next. 

Answers? Yes, Quantum Physics. 

Do you realize what it means? Freedom! we are not robots even if we are purely good. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 

-------------

I want to emphasize this, this is what it means... if you made mistakes it doesn't matter, if you found the answer that is GOD. Your mistakes doesn't matter, if you found the right answer and exercise it, the next thing would be GOD Himself. 

If you performed well and made a lot of good, you'd be on a roll, a momentum. A mistake would break the momentum, yes. After the mistake if you found this answer, the mistake wouldn't matter. 

The one that's on the roll is goodness, no mistakes could ever break His momentum. 

God is greater. So the destruction of humanly assets entails not the destruction of aeons or timeless mass of improvement that you had been a part of when you did what's right before the mistake. Just do it again, what matters is not the asset, what matters is you... are you still for the kingdom of God or not, God is greater than all the losses.

"I dont have to perform, all I got to do is to be a part of a gang" "When the gang expected me to perform, all I got to do is...
