Thats just life
Like when you waiting for something to happen, like christmas to come, every day drags on, then after christmas they all speed up.

Because you make it that way. If you realized the control you have over your own life, it would be everything happens, everything happens, everything happens, then one day, nothing happens. You lead your life the way YOU want to, and outside circumstances make you choose a yes or a no. So everytime someone says, "Hey let's go to the movies" or "Do you want to go bowling tonight?" or "Let's get high and make fun of the handicapped at the mall", each one of these choices effects the outcome of that something or nothing actually happening. Let's say you said yes to all these three scenarios. Most likely, you will have seen a movie, went bowling, and gotten kicked out of the mall. But you said no to all of these, and therefore, nothing happens in your life. However, you don't know if you are going to meet an old friend at the theaters and be able to keep in touch with them, or meet the woman (or man, I'm not judging here) of your dreams at the bowling alley and your life takes a completely different path than it would have if you just sat around WAITING for life to happen. Or maybe you would have learned a lesson from making fun of the handicapped, because when you left the mall, you got rear-ended by a truck and lived the rest of your days paralyzed and hopeless. Go out, go create, make decisions that you wouldn't normally make and start living.

I wouldn't worry about it. I trust that God is in control, am content in whatever circumstance I am in, and through faith in Jesus Christ, have perfect peace no matter what! Sounds pretty good, doesn't it.

The Quadrapole of Evil
-------------------------



How may Zen masters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
------------------------------------------------------------


Four!
------



(1) One *to screw in the lightbulb.*

(2) One *not* to screw in the lightbulb.

(3) One to *both* screw in the lightbulb and not to screw in the lightbulb.

(4) One to *neither* screw in the lightbulb *nor* not to screw in the lightbulb.



From this Zen riddle, we can deduce that evil has *four* poles|

Evil is not just two things on either side of good, but is *four* things - with two displaced from the good *vertically* and two displaced from it *horizontally* forming a cross+



"One to *screw in the light bulb*" can be considered the indiscriminate use of power for power's sake.

It is the mode of evil of *tyranny* and *oppression.*

The rider on the white horse represents this. (Rev. 6:2)|

The symbolic color associated with this particular type of evil is *white.*



"One *not* to screw in the lightbulb" can be considered a deficit or a lack of what ought to be there.

It is a lack of action and being. It is poverty, coldness, aloneness, and famine.

The rider on the black horse represents this. (Rev. 6:5)|

The symbolic color associated with this particular type of evil is *black.*



"One to *both* screw in the light bulb and not to screw in the light bulb" can be considered division, contradiction, and strife.

It is warfare and violence.

The rider on the red horse represents this. (Rev. 6:4)|

The symbolic color associated with this particular type of evil is *red.*



"One to *neither* screw in the light bulb *nor* not to screw in the light bulb" is the most putrid of all.

"The Amen, the faithful Witness and true, the Source of God's creation, has this to say: I know your deeds; I know you are neither hot nor cold. How I wish you were one or the other - hot or cold! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth!" (Rev 3:14-16).

Such never takes a stand on principle, but merely follows that which is expedient for *self.*

If the Allies give him what he needs, he is an Allie.

If the Nazis give him what he needs, he is a Nazi.

There is no stand on principle for such a person.

He is not even contradiction - he is simply slime|||||

The rider on the sickly green horse represents this. (Rev. 6:8)|

The symbolic color associated with this type of evil is *sickly green.*

"Its rider was named Death, and the neither world was in his train." (Rev. 6:8)|| || ||



----------------------------------------------------------
Now the *symbol* of all this is the up-side-down cross.

The top end of the vertical arm has a white circle, representing the "white" evil.

The bottom end of the vertical arm has a black circle, representing the "black" evil.

The left end of the horizontal arm has a red circle, representing the "red" evil.

The right end of the horizontal arm has a green circle, representing the "green" evil.



And there is a *fifth,* which is the *yellow* circle at the intersection of the two arms||

Being in the center, this is the *confluence* of the other four evils.

It is precisely where satan dwells||||| ||||| |||||



The top arm of the up-side-down cross is the longest and is at the top, because the white evil in the master evil from which all others proceed|

For it is will to power that is the genesis of all other evil - that is, the *root* of all evil is the deification of the will.

We can see that satan's downfall came from his *five* "I wills" (Isaiah 14:13-15) - five being the number of sin|

That is why the precise antidote to this is *Obedience.*

*Only* through holy obedience do we attain salvation|

"Still, let it be as you would have it, not I." (Matt. 26:39)|

The obedient are saved; the disobedient are not saved - period!



Now the mystery of the Cross of Jesus Christ is to counter this mystery of iniquity of satan|

It has to do with the "mechanics" of existence, as reality conforms to something analogous to mechanical laws, in that all of reality must adhere to fundamental laws - that of *identity,* *non-contradiction,* and *sufficient reason*.

All of reality flows from these three laws and must be in accordance with them.



The Cross of Jesus Christ was necessary to redeem us in the way that God wanted to redeem us|

As the One True Holy Catholic Apostolic Church teaches, the True Cross on which Christ Jesus died is the only creature to which the honor of *worship* is due|

Not even Jesus' Blessed Mother has such an honor|
