ASSURANCES

These are, so to say, aphorisms, and things that along the way I have chucked by the wayside, only in my experiences to be affirmed evermore.
May they bless you should you be following that narrow way. If not, please still heed them, as any endurance of the heart will wrought through the Love of God life in a purer state.

Assurance 1, Life is eternal! When your body passes into the state of decomposition, the people will sigh upon their mortality as the life within flows into the greater realm of Love & Light in which we are all One.
The life you have found within flows to where it is best matched in its source. If you have loved, then in the quality and character you have loved will find a place in heaven.

Assurance 2, I ASSURE YOU: knowledge is backwards.
It is formed upon the CONtemplation of experience, whether it is yours or your master's('). That when we contemplate, we are gaining knowledge by meditating backwords through our experiences, beginning now in the present moment, venturing backwards to the last instance and chained until we may perchance reach a moment of history.
CONsider: this moment in time of American emancipation from the Fatherland of England. We mark it in confirmation by the Declaration of Independance (as a beginning).
But the fathers of our America, as they are called in happenstance, saw this proclamation as long overdue... The British forces had invaded New England a year prior (Bunker Hill).
We may learn from this, identifying the manifestations of the War for Independence, which is laid in foreward sequence. But the proclamation and ensuing battles, whereby we gained self-sovereignty, was actually the culmination.
I see, looking backwards from this point, the inevitablility of such events, as a chicken inside its shell must peck until it witnesses the light when it has grown to an ample size.
What are these things, then that give me such faith? The Boston Tea Party. The Boston Massacre. Looking back farther in time, the Levies imposed by the Britains' Parliament.
The initial moments when plantation owners felt deprived by the market they participated in.
Even was it inevitable from the moment of the Mayflower!
So this is one mere example to take from the lesson:
All knowledge is forged in backwards.
The APPLICATION thereof, is something altogether separated. It involves separating first from derived axioms, and reuniting again with ones intentions.
As Carl Jung explained in his memoirs, he had to forebear upon any diagnosis for his patient, until AFTER they were TREATED!
Assurance 3,

Without self-evident truths, there could not be any truth at all!

Assurance 4,
The Artist draws more inspiration from the blank white canvas before him than his finished work: potentially, the white canvas offers more before he has decorated it.
It is the same for the expectant mother.
Let us not say the same for the painter; let us not say the same for any pregnant woman.

Assurance 5,
A tree standing after the typhoon is stronger than one pruned in a sunny meadow.

Assurance 6,
If you are demanding proof of God in order to Believe,
Consider this:
God could perform His Will in credance to the conditions your imagination deemed to be a worthy proof in the same way a fisherman could catch a fish to prove he is a fisherman, but it is more important to prove to himself that he does not need to prove he is a fisherman to be one. But a fisherman is a Creature, and God is the only being within Creation that is not a Creature.
How much less would He need to prove things?

Assurance 7,
If you carry your cross, you will get stronger.
If you use it as a crutch, you will develop a permanent limp. Assurance 8,

Willingness & Forgiveness, Responsibility:
Rather than what I have done, the Responsibility I have depends on other people's Willingness to trust me.
Rather than my own abilities , correcting the mistakes I've made depends on my Willingness to explore the Totality of the error.

Assurance 9,
You & I are woven from one Thread,
and them too: the very Same.

Assurance 10,
No matter how many times you have fallen:
should you stand,you will have stood once more.

Assurance 11,
Censorship is the Ultimate Form of Mind Control

Assurance 12,
When one human invented the glass bottle,
Somewhere another one invented the cork,
and it is only a matter of time until they meet.
