Here’s my attempted “Intentful” mindset:
To me:
Be careful not to live by or be identified by a *narrative* of the past-whether or not your narrative is true, partially true or a lie. Your life’s narrative is a past thing up to this second which is now past. We are all going forward. We are not stuck in the past, physically or time wise. I am not in anyway dismissing our memories nor am I taking away the Holy, i.e., our childhood remembrances, first kiss, graduation, etc… I am only stating that your memories are snapshots from which a ‘meaning’ is formed. Dangerously, this meaning can take shape in the form of a relativistic narrative. This narrative can be altered, persuaded, used and abused depending upon your present abilities to reason out what you have set before you—-that is, your ‘life’ as you are trying to define it and the barrage of ‘advice’ and persuasion that is constantly being tossed at you. You are constantly reminded that your life needs ‘to fit’ somehow. It needs to make something more of itself than a dissonance amongst chaos. As Rush states, “Be cool or be cast out— subdivisions”
Be brave and use your history to see “WHERE” you were and are in order to calibrate your intended bullseye. Therefore, don’t blame the tools that shaped you, only be thankful for them. Isn’t this a mindset of a good Intender? Isn’t this a hopeful, meaningful, intentful mindset?
Forgive the world. Forgive yourself. Don’t hold anyone to your charge, lest you be charged.
Next is my flippancy towards today’s modern Relativism, a.k.a. NON-SENSE :
“Alright, Kyle Jones, now go address your PTSD, BPS axis 1 with EMDR, Psychiatrists, and endless addressment to the tools of time that shaped my ‘ugliness’ to that which is ‘uniform’ and ‘healthy’ by today’s standard. Just go ‘work out’ your past—-because it was ‘tampered with’ and not intended. Eliminate the “god factor”, God nor god would do that…if there is one. Do not most Christians believe that God only wants ‘what’s best’ for you…therefore, doesn’t that mean ‘health and wealth’? Kyle, this is your supervening ‘doctor’ speaking, there is no INTENT but your ‘free will’. You can will freely. Right? You’re ‘rogue’ in this sense. But we won’t address that as a problem of semantics, let’s just gloss over that term, “free” and “will” as a cocktail to mean whatever you think. Words are really utilized for a higher pragmatism now. You shouldn’t think about words so much. Words need to be forgotten to their historical meaning and applied to the new Orwellian dictionary for utilitarianism. Forget where words came from and where they are going. Just be ‘beautiful’ to the practical world of today, y’know, the “US AND THEM world that fits the ‘cosmos’ of pragmatism. Your retraining of your ‘damaged’ mind requires only reaction vs. response retraining. Responding, well, it’s ‘relative’. Just don’t react to the relativism. To its own end -though-it refers. A circle upon a circle—-a loop, a ‘ring’. Kyle Jones, don’t you get it? Can’t you just be in the know? —-I mean…i don’t really know what that is but I know it can’t be Grace, belief in Meaning from an Intender. Get what you want out of life. But don’t react, respond. There is no real meaning. So,——whatever you obtain in this life what does it mean or matter? Just look at the world! Aren’t we doing our free will? Aren’t we striving for justice? What’s relativistically ‘right’, aren’t differentiations between races and spectrums of genders what we call for?—-yet, don’t we hate it when we say ‘you’re different’? We raise flesh up against flesh when we say, “you’re them and we are us”. When we make ‘alliance’ with any “them” and take *pride* in “us”. i mean any ‘us/ them’ group has critiqued, judged, made the line. They have distinguished and differentiated. Yes…that’s right, our world is doing just fine!”
My view:
This world sucks if I am to refer by, to, of , from it. A world of Aleatoric clauses, i.e., reactions causing more reactions—-hence, the world we see NOW. Contrawise, a worldview of meaning through Grace in the darkness of hateful reactions, do prove its reality. Not only does Grace prove its reality, it proves that IT is the only way.
To me if there is any grudge, resentment, hatred, blame, etc. from you to others—- then, you will always require human receptacle(s) that will, if acting on the natural impulse, grow weary of being cast in the mould of a god that they can’t fulfill. You will drain everyone and everything around you in the end. The very things you blame will become you unbeknownst to you.
Not forgiving, living by your traumas, and making others live by your traumas—-hence, a world demanded to live on eggshells is cruelty and bullying There is no achievement in this other than a demand for understanding that which cannot be properly thought out. I have no judgement against these poor people. I could absolutely claim full rights to the same ‘plight’ if I were to live out a narrative in the past and act out “eye for an eye”. I agree, acquiesce, sympathize and empathisize with their problems but this is not to be demanded.
Conclusion for now for me:
Love is a solo endeavor. The ‘world’ of reactions do not, cannot ‘perceive/ discern’ a ‘no-charge-forgiving-gracious belief/ lifestyle.
To me, an instruction:
Do not react with the reactions. Be a grown up, give grace. Grace is the opposite of this warring world that DEMANDS its damnation upon others. If you have any hatred in your mind that envisions the elimination of someone, adultery, desire to have what others have that you don’t——you are guilty of those things in the primary world.////IDEAS have consequences and our world, our nation is a result of our IDEAS. Is GRACE in your imagination, inner thoughts, every thought? If it is not, then you, me, all of us are in danger of Judging.
Our world is reflecting where we are going in our hearts.
P.S. —-Knowing the ‘result’ of our evolution, we have so many illnesses, whether mental and/ or physical. Take your meds that ail the organs….do due diligence (to love your fellow humans) to keep your body healthy…but to what end?—-To healthily serve others with GRACE, no self based faulty judgements that are desirous to apportion condemnation while not addressing your multitude of errors worthy of worse damnations <—-i.e., ‘critiques, punishments, analysis, dismissals, etc. We are not ‘stative’ creatures. We are being pressed forward by time. Don’t waste time. Think on these things and private message me my errors and/or your inspiration. Please don’t post vitriolic statements on my page. This is your legal right but it is my right to block hateful and ignorant judgements. With that said, ask God to be as HIS SON is: an infinite receptacle for other’s pain. Hold , coddle, listen to those who coo and cry— for we do the same. My intention is to agape others.
Lastly, forgive the ‘roughness’ of this post, grammar, halts, brokenness, etc….I’m only typing my heart out. Love to you all. PS.—— are these words in error from the Gospel of Jesus? If they are then I am wrong where my word derivative from HIS Kingdom’s pathway. There is nothing new under the sun so why are we repeating our errors? It’s because we must learn what Grace is.
