This is not random thoughts; see if you can follow the thread.
What do you mean, “Why don’t I like it?” The question assumes a falsehood, that I am somehow duty-bound to like something. My lack of interest is the default; you are the one who has to answer the question: “Why does this warrant my interest?” My ultimate decision is none of your concern.
I do write a lot of stuff, but I typically avoid the label “writer” for the same reason I tend to avoid other labels that might be technically accurate. It’s easier to simply do what I do and let folks pick their own labels. What they might want to include with that label is their problem and I have standing to deny their bullshit. I write, but I’m not claiming to be a writer, so don’t try to hook me into all that writer’s stuff, because virtually none of the famous authors share my motives.
I am whatever I have to be to spread the message. Some of my readers know that I describe myself as a clown. Sometimes a good shtick can be repeated, but as often as possible I strive to come up with something unexpected. That’s because of the vast ocean between where I am and where most people are. The quirky, and sometimes bizarre, behavior serves to shake things loose for what I hope is the next step: addressing something in the context from the message.
You might expect that it was quite hard to break the habit of clowning simply for the sake of attention. That emotional neediness was the single greatest block all my life to spreading the message. Once I could afford to not worry about whether I could get anyone’s attention, it was much easier to let it all go and just love other people. I perform only when the message calls my name.
A critical part of the message is letting people hang themselves. Were we living in a society that recognized our fundamental assumptions about quantum reality (never mind what they called it), we could spend more time offering useful advice to prevent tragedy and sorrow. But as I noted in a previous post, it’s not that the harvest is ready. It’s not that we are plowing up fallow soil to plant the seeds. We are removing a mountain of debris sitting atop the field. This was not our doing, but this is what we have to deal with. Our mission is not to save people — does that shock you? Our mission is to offer as much truth as possible at whatever stage of reception we find in the context.
Divine revelation will use you in places you might not imagine. Because we eschew activism and “saving the world,” we can afford to accept the idea of working in contexts others would denounce so long as we know the moral boundaries of Heaven within every context. When you give God room to do His work His way, you might find yourself working, or called to work, in an endeavor that is ostensibly “immoral.” Quantum morality draws entirely different boundaries than are commonly accepted by the world around us, whether secular or religious. There is no objective in the message, only the drive to unleash the truth. How others react or don’t react is none of our concern.
But we are willing to persist until something comes down from Heaven and says “move on.” It’s not a question of giving up on people, but hearing from God that your part of the mission is done here. If that same person comes back onto the scene later, we evaluate once more afresh how God wants us to offer the message. The hardest part is learning not to entangle yourself.
Even harder is recognizing that romance is subject to Heaven’s ordained plans on your life. Our ambient culture teaches us to go all-in on romance, which equates to idolatry. That’s how we get into sticky messes with people throwing idols at us and demanding we bow down. There are a thousand idolatries and romance is one of the biggest.
