Spirit Behind Words

The Threshing Floor Radio Show-August 23, 2011-Randy MaugansJesus said, "Have you found the beginning, then, that you are looking for the end? You see, the end will be where the beginning is. Congratulations to the one who stands at the beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death." –The Gospel of ThomasCommunication…Mis-communication…even Dis-communication…these are all perils of this human need to verbally transmit and exchange ideas, thoughts, even spiritual information. But language is limited…words are, effectively, written or verbal symbols; and require a certain level of interpretation. Words contain codes, and require de-coding…what occurs many times, are “mis-fires” of the spirit BEHIND the words."But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man."-1 Corinthians 2:14This is something rarely discussed…how we TRANSCEND language…or more properly, how we invoke a more accurate communication by the SPIRIT, as opposed to the precise (or imprecise) applications of a language, vocabulary, and inflective speaking…what happens when language fails…when words are imprecise, or misunderstood…HOW do we communicate in subtleties that go beyond common understanding?There are five keys in this study that will begin to take you beyond "mere" words...into the arena of the prophets, where images, symbols, metaphors, and analogies go beyond literalism, beyond the jargon of religion...beyond the monkey brain...where images and thoughts stream as powerful conductors of spiritually charged en-lightenment. There is paradox...there is complexity...and there is simplicity. For those who are knowing, no words are required; for those are unaware...no words are possible. We already KNOW what we need…we are not so much explorers, as re-discoverers of WHO WE ARE.  We are eternal…we WERE before the forming of the worlds…our ends are, as our beginnings foretold…Links:Wayne Masden, Real Time News-U.S. influence on anti_government activistsCIA investment firm, In-Q-Tel websiteMusic:"More Than Words" - Extreme"Lord Is It Mine" - Supertramp
