Scythes & Squirrels

". .I saw Π7Π`. .my eyes have seen the Sovereign, Π7Π` of hosts." ~ Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 6:1 & 5.

"No one has ever seen Elohim."~ Yohanan 1:18.

"For all the prophets & the Torah prophesied till Yohanan. & if you wish to accept it, he is Eliyahu who was about to come."~ YW7Π` (Jesus) Mattithyahu (Matthew) 11:14.

"& they asked him (Yohanan), "What then, are you Eliyahu?" So he said, "I am not." Yohanan 1:21 :/

Obviously what is being read literally is intended to be read figuratively, the translation is bad, or I don't know how to read my own language. :/

Isaiah said: I saw God. John said: no one has ever seen God. Ever. Jesus said: John is Elijah. John said: No. I'm not Elijah. No I'm not a Prophet. ://////////

Whether or not the passages are meant to be understood literally or figuratively they are seemingly contradicting. :((

In the Petrie Dish of theology, denomination, & religion there are too many contaminants: time lapsed, translation, interpretation of figurative or literal, context, & literacy. Between what is written in the Torah, the Nebi'im (Old Testament), the Kethubim Aleph (Old Testament), the Kethubim Bet (New Testament), & the Qur'an~ all accounts differ in literalness, figurativeness, & concept. Mohammad states he is in the line of Prophets, yet translation contradicts what Jesus is recorded as saying. Yes, Jesus said worship our Creator only, just as Mohammed~ yet Jesus said it is not enough to stand in the Way of Abraham; that he himself is greater than a Prophet, & that he is the First, & the Last. Mohammed says to stand in the Belief of Abraham, which is to worship our Creator, that Jesus is a Prophet, that Jesus cannot intercede, that Mohammed will be given the intercession, & that he himself is the last Prophet; & then reverts back to a system (similar to Moses) which utilizes stoning, war, & slavery as means to establishing Elohim's/Allah's Will. :/ 

My intention is not to encourage Disbelief in our Creator, & there is much insight & wisdom to be gleaned in the reading of scripture~ my intention is to encourage a Relationship with our Creator *in the Now*, which is relevant to time, place, culture, context, & shared understanding & experience. How that is done, is the Creator's Doing, all I know is to Ask. .my point in sharing the aforementioned is that the results (religions) built up around contaminated culture (Petrie Dish as described) are leading to fractured paradigms & faulty results~ namely division, discrimination, hatred, violence, war, murder, & death. 

Whether any scripture is true or false is beyond my knowing, all I have is my perception subject to grow, change, & evolve with my Creator's Guidance & Honing.

Setting aside technicalities of divinity, statues of divine heirarchy, karmic resolution, motions & phrases of worship, dietary laws, justice, & means of delivering it~ the gleaning of Jesus' message is that:

we are cherished by our Creator & are to remain devoted only to the Relationship with our Creator,
that we hold a cherished position in our Creator's 'Eyes',
that to love ourselves simultaneously with all Creation is how we love our Creator,
that our Creator provides our needs & wants according to our Creator's Perfect Desire,
& our Assignment is Patient Persevering Compassion in all matters,
this is the Reign of our Creator,
which is in our Hearts,
& what is in our Hearts creates our Reality.
Receive this Message as your Purpose, & you Receive the Creator & your Reward. :))

"With them being all around my house & even coming in at times, how could I not have [a] squirrel caper to report? What I wanted to say of them was, that I think they can give blessings. Surely they are like little angels nesting in trees, who like nuts. I think they might even be able to [share with you wisdom]. .But you have to be kind to them, or they will never divulge they can talk."~ Hafiz-Hammer-Emerson-Ladinsky
