Miss Direct

                                                         In 10th Grade,  Mr. Lyons, {the SECOND >Mr. Lyons< of my Life}, taught us what "reading into things" was "all about" and subsequently cautioned us  NOT to "read into things" because "What YOU think the author was intending might  NOT  be what the author ACTUALLY intended" .   

                              I "read into" Luke's depiction with the zealous FERVOR of "One Possessed" .   I could now account for the Origin of a string of Lifetimes that experienced the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Templar Annihilation and the Templar  >>>Resurrection<<<  in Portugal .   

                              Some of Us are said to be born "with a silver spoon in our mouths", for me, the Maker Of All Things  saw to it that I was born with a Sword in my hand --- indeed, there is the Concept of "Universal Soldier" , a Caste of Militant Idealists,,  whose Allegiance is to "The Continuum" best described by the Japanese Tengu.    

                             Some of the Pacific among us question the birth of Steel Wielding Monks ---  Why the fuck would the Divine Almighty NEED Armies of Swordsmen ???????  One of THE GREATEST QUESTIONS OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!   Why indeed ??????? 

                            

The Centurion

                                                           I have only ONCE confessed the story my Gentle Readers will now be subjected to, it was to one of my co-workers, a Presbyter by Faith .   Upon hearing it he aske me if I considered my own story as TRUTH .   Make no mistake, I did then and I do now .


                                                                   The Centurion


                             St Luke describes an Incident of Miracle :

                                       "There was a Centurion whose cherished Slave was deathly ill .   {I have had to modify St. Luke's Story by changing Slave to Daughter} .  When the Centurion heard of Jesus and His curative Powers he sent a few of his valued Workers to find Jesus and ask that He have Mercy and come to the Centurion's Residence and Heal his Most Cherished ."

                            I was there for that, a soldier under the command of that Centurion .   Luke records that this Centurion had helped build a synagogue for the Locals, and so was highly honored by them .   I, too, was a worker, and did my part as a manual labor guy .

                           I saw Jesus, heard Him speak, saw that He HEALED the Daughter, bringing her away from Death......   I WAS AMAZED AND ASTOUNDED    HOW COULD THIS BE ?????????

                          I do not recall if I surrendered immediately , I tend to doubt I did, the Cult of Mithras had been the Standard to date, and was so among those in Rome's Armies .  But this ?????    This THIS was FUCKING BIZARRE .   I confess ;   I WAS SCARED FUCKING SHIT !!!!   Still, I related the Incident to EVERYBODY I could, including my own "Brothers In  Arms" .

Abraham and Isaac

                                                          There ae two Aspects of Christianity that define my Understanding :  they are ;  From the Crucifixion we are taught that that a son should "follow" his father's Commands, and that "Life After Death" is GUARANTEED >>IFF<<  one is Truly Devoted and has lived a "Purpose Driven Life" a one where Jesus, the Christ is NEVER abandoned in ANY Way, Shape,, or Form REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES .   

                             One of the Reasons I LOVE Jesus is that while he was Dying, He asked what ANY ONE OF US WOULD ASK  

                                    >>>>"FATHER, WHY HAVE YOU FORESAKEN ME ???" <<<< .

                              Another Reason is this Teaching of Jesus expressed by my Fav, St. Matthew :

                                             "Do not think I have come to bring peace on earth;  

                                                 I have not come to bring  peace, but a sword ."

                            The First Reason is simple , It is Jesus, the MAN, who wants to know WHY He must be Sacrificed in such a horrific manner, indeed, WHY must He be sacrificed AT ALL ???   If this aint the ULTIMATE >>>>>>>WHAT THE FUCK????? <<<<<< I don't know what is .

                             The Second Reason is clearly OBVIOUS to those that have read me :   The Sword that Jesus brings to this Earth is none-other, than "The Sword of NO Sword" = the MIND SWORD that is wielded to sever those EARTHLY Bonds that impede the Realization and ACTUALIZATION of  Love, Devotion and SURRENDER to the Divine Will of the Cosmic Almighty .   You Quids* know I am a Zen Swordsman......... so, I mean..... there's THAT .

                            One last .... .   Recall the Story of Abraham and his son Isaac, whom Abraham was about to Sacrifice that he may OBEY the Will of the Divine Almighty,  here it was that an Angel INTERVENED in order to save Isaac FOR SURELY NO GOD WOULD DEMAND PROOF OF ONE'S DEVOTION IN THIS MOST HEINOUS FORM .   Isaac was spared .   I mean, what the fuck just happened ????
