Interesting take on perspective. Does it really deal with the clear warnings in Scripture against the magic arts (however disguised)? I’d say no, not by a long shot. I counter that it has nothing to do with how I “see things”, since—unlike your creative reply—the Word does not equivocate on this issue.

I don't know if this applies to you or not, but I keep falling into what seems to be one of the pitfalls or traps along the seeker's path. And, dude, that trap will stop you cold and many never get out of it.

I've had to constantly make sure that I don't love my own (or someone else's) interpretation of God more than I do God, Himself/Their Selves.

It's a subtle distinction, which is one reason I think it's a trap, but it's a very serious one for someone like me.

Experience here in Schoolhouse Earth, what I call this Matrix God created for us, has shown me far too many times that I know what I know...but sometimes I'm wrong.

That's why I love Proverbs 3:5 and why it's good for me to keep moving around the stadium.

It's far too easy for a personality like mine to succumb and then become some flavor of Pharisee and then not see, see?

Far too many times, I, myself, have gotten in my own way and find that I am blocking the Light and my poor, cold feet learned long ago that my inner light just ain't enough to keep me warm.

So...I keep hearing the words of philosopher "Pablo Cruise" saying: "Keep your heart open and Love will find a way."

If you don't, it won't. It won't show it, but you don't know it.

The Holy Spirit has an interesting sense of humor that way. Runs in the Family, I think.
