Person’s name has been removed and convo slightly edited… otherwise, the first time in months to think about or even talk about the Incarnation.
Misteka says:
last night i was watching the movie “vanilla sky”
Misteka says:
and in the end, i became aware of eternity.
Misteka says:
not in any spiritual way… just a distinct awareness of eternity.
Misteka says:
ive been struggling with my faith for months now…
Misteka says:
and for a brief moment.. all i could think about was
Misteka says:
the incarnation and the transfiguration.
Misteka says:
i alway say to myself and others.. if im being honest and not hiding..
Misteka says:
‘remember the incarnation…’
Misteka says:
‘always remember the incarnation’
Misteka says:
in everything i do and say and deal with people… i try to remember the incarnation.
Misteka says:
even as i live far away from god.
says:
how?
Misteka says:
how to remember the incarnation?
says:
how do u connect the incarnation with everything else?
Misteka says:
i havent thought about this properly in months.. but ill try to remember..
says:
it sounds very positie
says:
don’t forget to let me know
says:
I’m not quite sure i got your point
Misteka says:
gimme a few mins.. im looking thru my old blog posts.. i wrote about this..
Misteka says:
im reading them to help me jog my memory
……
Misteka says:
ok..
Misteka says:
but im starting to remember…
says:
Misteka says:
the incarnation is the deepest, most risky way to engage with the world.
Misteka says:
it involves you to enter someone’s world or even your world or any situation
Misteka says:
and become fully part of it.
Misteka says:
nothing no more, in the eyes of the incarnation, is void of God.
Misteka says:
nothing can be called ‘evil’ or ‘bad’…
Misteka says:
because God is in all and through all
Misteka says:
the Incarnation doesn’t believe in class systems..
Misteka says:
or social structures or values/principles that exclude us from others
says:
wow….that’s simply beautiful
Misteka says:
when I deal with someone.. speak to someone..
Misteka says:
u have to incarnate yourself with that person’s body and feelings and soul
says:
isn’t that dangerous?
Misteka says:
yes
says:
ok, so u better not become fully part of it
Misteka says:
no
Misteka says:
u have to become part of it.
says:
before I go on, are u putting this theory in paralel with Christ’s incarnation?
Misteka says:
the mystery is.. that u become part of it.. but u dont give yourself up..
Misteka says:
or detract from yourself..
Misteka says:
yes.
says:
oh i see
says:
or u could tell that u are the one that influences whatever environment u’re in, through this incarnation!?
Misteka says:
yes.
Misteka says:
no matter where u r
Misteka says:
or where u work
Misteka says:
to become fully immersed in the place
Misteka says:
in relation to work or people or marriage or service or hobby
Misteka says:
and to do whatever it is you are called to do.
Misteka says:
without a life rooted in the Incarnation, no other Christian mystery is even remotely possible.
Misteka says:
eucharist is dead without the Incarnation.
