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 ...

Gray & Lupine

Dream April 30th, 2021 In this dream, I witnessed the interaction of two camps of were-folk that were in the middle of territorial conflicts. One camp considered itself morally good while simultaneously perceiving the other as morally gray and dangerous. This dream followed the perspective of the alpha of those that considered themselves to be good. The dream began in a hospital where he encountered a few members of the other camp. They came looking for him as he walked through the building and recognized him by his scent. They easily sniffed him out from among a crowd of people that filled the small hospital. Quickly he was tackled to the ground and dragged to the roof. He had little ability to resist them because he was alone at the moment versus the organized team of were-folk. The other were-folk began to take on massive spider-like forms to try and sedate him. One, in particular, appeared as a centenarian beast with a spider's lower body and a humanoid upper body with an exosk...
