H,
We cannot account for every second of our lives. This would be the
ideal. It is not possible. We will miss
a few million of those to jokes, laxity, sleep, and things we want to forget. It
is enough that we seek to fill our hours with value. It is enough that we have
God on our minds. There is nothing more able to shift the human soul from
potential to value, than to think on the light above focusing on the dark.
God on the mind is simply that: knowing that there is a role for the framer
of all life in all of our life. We are lost because we are dislodged from the
grund norm of all souls. We are not thinking about the divine being. We are
thinking of the utility of self and this utility is small compared to the vastness
of all time. We are thinking too small. We are focusing on the low centres of
common life.
Perhaps there is nothing wrong with wanting or living the common life. Except,
it is not the full life. The great curse and gift of life is that, mostly, and
in our minds, we know our potential and we know our reality. We know who we
could be. And then we know who we are not. We know that we are failing. God calls
us to something more: to know who we must and will be forever.
