>>>the city is so beautiful - as if every brick in the streets and buildings was laid ***by hand by an artist who loved his work***. Then I realize this city is too beautiful to exist<<<

Keep an eye on your dreams. You were given a vision of pure truth, beyond what you realized...

Matthew 19
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

The usage background of the statement is that a person isn’t going to dream of that which he can’t even envision in the first place:

>>>

How will you know the thoughts of your heart? By their being revealed to you in a dream. Rava said: Know that this is the case, for one is neither shown a golden palm tree nor an elephant going through the eye of a needle in a dream. In other words, dreams only contain images that enter a person’s mind.

How does that makes sense? People dream of kooky, impossible things all of the time.

It makes simple sense if those are real-life *doing* dreams.

The consensus “Can’t Do” establishment mindset of “that’s impossible” will rule the day, until that someone who’d been mocked by the same crowd presses on anyway, demonstrating otherwise.

Then when there’s no denying, they’ll all want to glom on to enjoy the benefits of the dreamer’s vision, the mustard seed that they belittled and then tried to poison even as it kept right on growing.

(Why’s it growing so big? That’s impossible. We must kill it then.)

As for the fate of the rich man... necessity is the mother of invention, so the man who already has everything has no need to dream, no need to do anything differently.

Usually.

If something looks too good to be true, it usually is.

Usually.

>>>the city is so beautiful - as if every brick in the streets and buildings was laid by hand by an artist **who loved his work**<<<

Something to do with the indomitable Spirit of the endeavor.

With God all things are possible. ❤️

MAGA
