When you ask yourself a question, two-parter:
a.) Who came up with the question; and,
b.) Who are you asking?
Things that make you go "Hmm..."
I asked myself a question, and me gets very confused.

In some universe, credit goes strictly on intention.
It's the cause that wakes me up.
I believe I am made in such a way, in my present condition, to understand just so much. My capacity is limited to a finiteness regulated by time, space and the material universe.
I will know more and more in the ages to come.
It's a beautiful thing.
But for now I just feel weird. 😳 😉

I know I much prefer the general sense of well-being adherence to an ideology confers, if in nothing else, at least in the surety assumed in light of the general acceptance by far more august minds and overall constitutions.
A kinda "I'm with these guys," way of belng, I guess.
Certainly nothing forged, invented or discovered by me; sadly, no heroics.
But aren't we supposed to be that?
Heroic?
Is it possible that He intended far, far, way far more than a dunk-and-go way of being?
That it was intended to instill like-minded 'conquering status' as the default, not a sheep-like meandering, chewing-swallowing-chewing-swallowing, 'blithely waiting' as the default, waiting most notably for their next flea bath?
The more ground we conquer, the more expansive we see His endless reach.
