When does thinking something end or begin it? 

 

Some people actually believe that not talking about a particular narrative or conversation means that that particular topic has no influence or impact on them. This is some of the thinking behind the narrative of the left-leaning netizen 🤔. By not discussing it, one's life is not affected. By discussing it means that it is real and present danger.

This situation is a variant or semi- analogous to burying your head in the sand like an ostrich.The danger is still present but one cannot see it or acknowledge it.

Although one doesn't think that way or lead a conversation in that direction doesn't mean that that particular stream of thought hadn't impacted your behaviour or morphed your belief -system. Or isn't present in one's thinking. 

Believe it magical or not is the title of a broader infoscape on mysterious occurrences, strange events and inexplicable things not encountered in everyday life.But now shapes the views of many.

Believe- it- magical- or -not kind of thinking has also infiltrated some churches in the past decades. Many,unfortunately, teach that thinking casually or acknowledging sin only makes it worse and causes one to sin in the first place.

Of course this is Not what the Bible teaches. Sin is indulged in because we are all sinners.  We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners from the beginning.

Some modern churches teach or else tend to promote that men, the masculine spirit, is the underlying cause for iniquity,sinning and existential problems that plague our global lives.

So much so that often some women inside and outside the church espouse the kind of belief that men are to blame for everything that is toxic in society and western societies in particular. 

Women, of course, don't sin- at all. It's all men's fault- they're bad.

But GOD.

The Bible helps us to collect and approach our thoughts and belief systems within as dispassionately yet authentically as possible. But being human,our hearts deceive us utterly and completely. Fiercely we fall under the sway of our greatest enemy- ourselves.

So we need someone or some being who can unravel the complexity of the ordinary heart. Dangerous as it is. 

To examine ourselves- in particular and each other, so that falsehoods, half-truths and outright lies don't sway us and our nations into destruction. 

Unfortunately,  surveillance societies make possible mass control of people and their beliefs in ways somehow foreseen by visionaries like Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. Alerting us to the dangers of secretive and overt authoritarian political  and cultural control. Kindly but strong rulers rarely exist and  that mean that the presence of evil affects us (even globally) today?

While it seems to us that the world is at peace,such peace is a false perception. Our world is at war with itself. Peace is the rarity,not the common state of being.

 

 Everywhere are the footprints and fingerprints of good, even in nations sullied by evil.

 

 

Of  course there are people out there who have gone before and concluded the very same problem(s) i have.  I am uncertain of my conclusions.  But doubts to the contrary doesn't mean we are wrong.Nor entirely correct either?

 

 Specific to universal truths are here, open your eyes  

 

A thorny issue, indeed?  What do you think? Agree or comment ?

 

Until next time.
