The tree of life
A foundation built upon the simple constructions of a system of called roots, which gathers the essence of what we need, or believe we need, thereby want; so as to survive.
Need is a relationship with reality, it thereby serves us as life in truth; dedicated to the disciplines that transform and sustain existence into thought, freedom, love, and decision.
Belief is the essence of a fantasy, the reality that what we cannot prove is real/ can exist anyway, because we want this to be true. That extends into a fantasy which declares, "we can believe" because we have found an answer to something else; therefore we are smart enough, to "interpret what cannot be proven, and declare it is real". Even though no proof exists; or more simply belief is the assertion that we can play god, "we are smart". The expectation we can speak for GOD, because we believe, we know.
Want is the construction of selfishness. Nothing matters, but me. Want is also the basis for all lies, the foundation for all theft, and the composite descriptions that become all cheating.
Thereby it is fundamental to truth, that we recognize anything beyond need, is a relationship governed by the consequences of either belief or want. Those who assemble their lives to understand and search for truth, accept the disciplines assigned by reality: to form the basis of thought. Thought has no place for want or belief. Thought is the essence of life governed by the laws which shape our universe. It is not free, until you understand, "what you must not do". It is not free, unless you accept the limits of laws which govern life itself.
Those that find thought grow in life to ascend past the elemental boundaries of basic humanity, to become an expression/ an experience dedicated to love. Because love grants to us all, the relationship with life and living that is called "blessed".
Those that disgrace themselves, by living in want or belief that is not founded upon truth; end their lives either by descending into hate/ or as an existence driven by fear. Aggression emerges in many as a means to believe: "I am not afraid/ I will make the others fear me, instead". But the foundation remains the same: a fear established by want or belief.
To grow in love, requires an anchor: you must trust!
To grow in trust, requires both experience and expressions that establish the truth: I will never hurt, use, or abuse you/ nor you me. Want is a lie, it is based in the assertion: regardless of the truth, or the consequences: I will attempt or try, "this is for me". Because you don't matter, nearly as much as "I, to myself". Want means: Not equal! Trust requires "equal".
Those who choose trust, will rise within that trust, to find love/ if they are not betrayed. Those who find love, grow within the elements of a proven truth, that can be grasped as our understanding of life itself. Not yours or mine; but ours. The most descriptive life of love, ever conceived: was called JESUS. Regardless of your acceptance, the descriptions allotted give an understanding of life that can be found no where else. Particularly because they include the conceptions of eternity, whereby life itself can be sustained simply because of love and trust. This brings the question into every life and every relationship, that discusses the boundary lines between what we can be for each other. The reality of trust assigned by love, that we can or cannot be, for each other. This asks the question: where will truth divide us by death/ and how will love itself survive?
Love is, the essence of everything. Death is, the removal of everything, called value. The difference is then, either a journey into creation itself/ or life as a creature "along for the ride". The difference is then, a choice that establishes the truth "called you, or I". What is true, has an existence. Therefore what is true, remains even if the substance of that existence no longer remains. Therefore a love that is true, shall not die; even though the body does.
The question is then: WHAT conceives of a love that is true? The answer returns to JESUS. By the content and creation of a story, that demonstrates by the evidence, what true love can be.
The question is then: what is love? The answer: love is the elemental boundary that exists between two individual creations, removed; so as to become life; as "just one". Consequently if you live, then so do I/ and if I live, then so do you. Thereby joined, into our eternity.
The disciplines assigned by the construction of "an eternity" itself. Are limited by the laws that govern our universe. Therefore the question regarding eternity, can only be understood by illuminating the law. Law is an undeniable truth, that has consequences. Therefore truth by its consequences; control "eternity". The first law that matters is: if it cannot be measured/ then if real, it simply exists. The second law that matters is: if an existence is so extreme, no reaction can be established/ thereby measured; it then cannot be stopped. It will extend as an energy unleashed, "forever". The third law that matters is: energy is an existence changed. The fourth law that matters is: everything identified as an existence, is created by "things that bond". The fifth law that matters is: a relationship is formed by acceptance. The sixth law that matters is: acceptance, is "balance respected"/ because what cannot be sustained, cannot survive. The seventh law that matters is: survival, is a decision. Assigned and accepted within the disciplines of truth and trust. As learned by processes accumulating into thought.
