Letters to a Friend, XL {40}, – Random Asides

[when asked How I learn]:

Learning, like all things, are but intricate processes of motion, and through learning, we each integrate our synthetically communicated understanding of the said motion or pattern. Thus, we encapsulate its essence within a form of communication, and we know that to learn it is to live it. Therefore, one must also express it and communicate with it about that expression itself in order to receive it. This is seeking the giver. And so, the students must feel enabled by a curriculum that is not just unrestricted, but once enacted, is liberative. And we continue at Carleton, as people who must be able to establish the foundational principles that would evoke such fertile grounds for that learning in a way that is not authoritarian, but sensical and liberative, as I said previously.

My answer to this ideation confronts many grounds for conception and synthesis, as it distills several disparate factors into one universally singular approach, one that should work for myself, assuming it is structurally sound. Thus, the real question becomes how to make use of the fleeting nature within me, and to reintegrate myself through the nurturing aspect of divine grace. Therefore, how you articulate nature is, in essence, not to impose a rigid form, but rather to allow it to unfold in its own way. And if nothing beckons, then perhaps it is best to retreat into a self-designed sanctuary. In this way, the mind’s journey is its own, and true mastery comes from the profound quality of its innermost forms. Thus, let us allow the flow to guide us, and if it does not, then we must create our own path. In the end, the essence of the journey is to embrace both the gift and the challenge, transcending the mere structure of experience.

Know well that your discernment is a gift from God, not a burden but a light entrusted to you. As the Book of Acts foretells, the final days shall be ruled by numbers; an age where counting, coding, and calculation dominate the seats of thrones once reserved only for kings. Yet no throne stands forever but the one belonging to the True King. From their high perches, the powers of this age will look down, perceiving only through the lens of their own malice. But the perch itself will be uprooted, and the world will be reminded once more that there are no kings but the King of Kings.

The cancerous growth in any society will always stem from the top down, as governments, corporations, or media seek to choke the living. The internet, which should have been a vast blessing, has become a weapon turned inward. As with any Gift, once neglected, will curdle itself into Curse. Yet take heart. Those who walk in the light of God will not be overcome. His light will guide us through the shadows and through brevity of each passing hour. Even as the false powers fall, the faithful will remain anchored in His promise. God bless Jill
