I’ve started to read and reflect upon the daily chapters of the book by Jonathan Cahn called “The Book of Mysteries”
I will do journal entries related to these readings and the application of these readings here.
The first one is called “Infinity in a Jar”
Only an open container can contain something that is bigger than itself…a river, for instance, can flow into an open jar and the jar can, over time, contain the entire river (over time).
The truth of the world is not only infinite, but it is challenging. My ego wants the universe to be a certain way…likely with me in the middle of it. But this perspective makes me a closed vessel. This way I’m not always open to the truth, which is infinite, I select truth that is convenient and can be contained in me. This is a very limited view of the universe and closes me to the infinite wisdom and beauty in it.
My current Bible (and other sources) readings are challenging my world view. They sometimes seem unfair or impossible. I am full of doubt. Despite this, I am being exposed to truth and wisdom and I need to prepare myself to accommodate it. This may mean, as is discussed by Piaget, that I need to tear down my existing schemes regarding the world and build them anew based on the new evidence, the new schemes that are being added to me.
The Mission: Today, open your mind, your heart, and your life to that which you don’t yet know, that you might contain that which is greater than yourself.
