Eyes of God

 September 13

A dream where the Catholic church was involved. A lady was trying to earn her wings but got tricked by another into doing her dirty work. Many spirits served this undead woman in her existential purgatory. The church condemned her to hell for her crimes against humanity and a gate appeared and swallowed her up, but then, a hand reached through the gate, grabbed her out. The hand was the hand of God. The nun was condemned, the woman who served her was saved despite her sins. The women sprouted wings and was freed from her purgatory.


This dream was very interesting, and hard to write about. The lesson that I most clearly see is this idea of God looking at the heart and making judgements. I as a Christians might judge somebody as worthy of divine punishment, and then God turns around and rescues those that I condemn. We both place judgements, but, only one of us is justified in doing so. Those I condemn could be the next Paul or Samson. 


Example: 

  • Cain kills Abel and God responds by marking Cain with a promise. Live without the fear of death because when people see this mark, they will know not to mess with you. Mercy.
  • Biblical Law states that the sin of Adultery is to be punished with death. King David did this very act, God did not strike him down. Grace.
  • Judas betrayed Jesus, just as Jesus said He would. Judas was still one of the twelve and hung out with Jesus consistently.
  • Many Christians died because of Paul who openly persecuted them. A majority of the New Testament consists of letters from Paul.

My judgements and plans are not like Gods. If I only treated people well because I thought they would make good Christians, I could only wonder how many thousands I would miss.

Preferred Prey

Photo by Dan Dennis on Unsplash December 4, 2020 In this dream, I was watching a tv show. A were-cat (not to be confused with a werewolf) was living on his own in a post-apocalyptic world. I shall call him "Prey." As he walked, he found himself upon an elevated plain where another were-cat appeared that I shall call "Hunter."  Hunter saw Prey, and both men responded to each other by shifting from human form into a semi-human form with long tails and spotted fur, like cheetahs or jaguars. A 70mph chase ensued across the plateau with Hunter in hot pursuit. Because both were running at the same speed, this was not a chase that would end quickly.  Both men had limited stamina, just like actual big cats. Eventually, the chase came to an end when their energy ran out. Hunter proposed a truce because they found themselves surrounded by trees (bear territory) and it would be safer if they stuck together. Both agreed to this plan, and they began journeying out of the fores...

Does Knowledge Puffeth Up?

Biblical Hermeneutics Why one might ask, is hermeneutics important? Have you ever heard the saying that knowledge puffeth up? It comes from 1 Corinthians 8:1 wherein which I have often heard it said to me as a form of discouragement due to my love of research and knowledge. The reason proposed is that knowledge makes you prideful; thus, knowledge is a dangerous pursuit for those not pastors. This idea is not only far from what Paul was trying to say, but it also contradicts statements like what is written in Hebrews 5:11-14. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 "Knowledge puffs up, and love edifies" is best understood when read in its entirety and in comparison with "Acts 15:20; "Abstain from things contaminated by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood" which was written to Gentile believers and is the 4 rules that they had been given instead of being given the law as Jewish believers had insisted at the time. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 is ...

Ad Nauseam

  Photo by Robert Anasch on Unsplash July 17, dream In this dream, I had seen a pyramid that was said to be asleep. However, its slumber was disturbed due to the presence of a young man. "When you're awake, this place feels more sadistic." A soldier spoke these words to the young man, which were true. The trees would move within the space of the pyramid that stood within an immense pyramid. In this place, the military was present and looking for Hypnogogic runes. These spells granted one the power of Unas, the God eater. For the one who found them, he would devour all the gods. There was a room I found myself in; runes were etched into the wall of a secret room. Each one was surrounded by blue lightning and set on a nearby wall. The pyramid had made its choice, and its power would be mine. Simultaneously, two friends of mine were getting married in this same pyramid. I was in attendance at both weddings and was wanting to congratulate my friends, but I was torn. My lust ...
