When anyone touts mind, the thinking process, the result, one cannot leave God out of the equation. Hu- man achievement is not just a product of man, it is an achievement of God, by God, through the mind used by man. The reasoning process is as complicated as the mind it makes its way through. Through the pro- cess of thought, of rationalization, of objectivity, one is using one’s intellect to live this life. Mind emits the material, but how does it get into mind, where does it come from, and who or what is doing the reasoning through mind? No one can use mind for any purpose without acknowledging where it came from. God does not impose his will on man, it is man who does his own imposing. Man cannot talk about the metaphysical in any context without admitting that what he views as reality is not the true reality. Man will continue destroying himself because he does not know who he truly is. He lives in the world of the human, gives it the reality, but ignores the before, as well as the aftermath! For those who tout that this is reality, that this is who they are, one would pose the question, “When the so-called reality of this world gives way, along with the physical, what will “you” encounter?” Will it seem as real, or will it reveal itself as the true reality? And what will your reaction be? That the reality of the physical was a fake reality? That everything is with one in the new realm? Mind, spirit, conscience? Man can argue the principle of anything, but it is man putting his own spin on his own perspective. To rationalize, to reason, does not necessarily bring the right answer, only the answer as seen from the standpoint of the one doing the reasoning. The coin with two sides is applicable in all situations, but this does not mean that one should abandon his principles. There are the high roads of principles, and there are the low roads of principles, and choice steps in to decide which road to take. Values, morals, ethics, etc., can be subverted when one takes the low principle road. Man has the knack of seeking his own path and it is not always the better one, or the right one. Man, today, believes himself to be highly intelligent, is he? When he, through the process of rationalization, of reason, begins to analyze his intellect, something important is missing . . . The thought of who is doing the analyzing. Man can no more help making himself look good because he allows his ego to intervene. We all live by our own philosophies, so man is never more or less than he thinks he is. He lives his life within his cycle in time and is puzzled when the cycle is over and his spirit is living life in no-time. This is the circle in action.
