When scientists started to tests nature, looking for new limits, spirit was tirelessly battling to keep human hearts intact. While holding everything else together, the emotional integrity of every being also had to be considered intently.
The Angels have emotions too, and they balk at tragedies like we do. I’m often praying for them, even a hint of certain things that they are privy to, and that they shield us from, is disturbing. God is mature, and he loves to give people space to live their lives as best they can, and all in the style they can summon within their own noble imaginations.
Like a kind of Willy Wonka in Eden’s fruit factory, perhaps God loves to see us craft out of our own ‘pure imagination’. When Gene Wilder sang the song by that name, ‘Pure Imagination’, you can almost feel the seeds of promise planted inside your heart like a golden ticket to your own dream factory.
And so, God says “Subdue the Earth, and multiply”, but it turned out that many people weren’t quite ready for the openness and freedom of this seemingly basic invitation. Like an IQ test of simplicity, how sophisticated could a person be with such a mission?
Our abundant world is a gift for a life that you can experience within the divine gift of your life. The insistence on science to pursue dangerous excesses of technology, while so many are suffering to even enjoy God’s first invitation, is a misdirection. In my experience, people like technology as an alternative to appreciating the contentment in being. If can be that simple, it can mean someone lovingly designed your world and your body so you may discover these blessings.
There’s certain areas of exploration in God’s fine universe that just aren’t wise to pursue. Music, art, architecture, agriculture, spirituality and similar cultural gifts nearly always seem to be in a wise direction. Yet, we can see there’s a certain limit that God is willing to tolerate in terms of technology, economy, politics, religion, media, and competition. The price in human suffering is too much, not just for God and us, but also the beautiful angelic ones that support us.
