Well.um, yes i remember the song,it was a sort of Scornful triumph of there own running after what the big thing to do was, but in fact like all current events of a milleau, (wrong spelling,is it maybe meow...um, maybe not,)are in the end going to end when the bell bottom are out of fashion,I think it was good that you annunciated what it takes to succeed at somethng, but serously, i think that most people know it intuitively,as uh, work,or in short pain, but,we most of us,simply cannot attain it without a coach, a mentor, or taking a vow of some kind, rareley but sometimes These achievements are not generally done not by individual,but it does happen, if they are self driven geniuses like the Italian guy who built an atomic reactor beneath the stadum of chicago university,Enrico Fermi or Newton,who just couldnt really stop thinking of theories of physics,He didnt invent them but discovered them by intens diamond cutter study, but after doing so he apparently needed more discoveries and started to mix in very bad and wrong theology which was one of the reason, (very sad and wrong, crazy stuff...) why, the church of England forbid ministers who were not trained to talk or preach things about the word of God or heaven beyond unless they had been ordained sanctified and exorcised of false imiagination, false professors drive folks insane, cause God intended nothing of what they preach to be preached.
sorry, got distracted um Positive thinking is a little like faith in God, but uh,, more like faith in what "we "want succeeding,its a little selfish,acrually a lottle selfish, but folks want what they want,however, this is nothing like faith in God, but is by many christians mistaken for it, when it succeds, kinda tricky, yeah seems He just lets them have there bull headed way,yuh see, God, I dont bleieve is really concerned whether anything other than his gospel and his word and his plan for the world sicced or our plans wthout him are is advented. He longs to have his work done in consort with his created beings,Jesus was a man and God and we follow his example, he said of him "this is my beloved son in whom iam well pleased" but frankly we are his children as well, but easily distracted and quite blind, we mess it up by our own polluted thinking, were going yeah ..yeah, i got a million people in my church Wow.. Gods goin yeah but your not listneing to what i want you to tell them, free will is real, apparently so, we induldge it and loose his direction, many time pastors push theres and seem to succed by positive thinking.Hmm this is boring..look
The moromon church is in fact a very Good example of this very thing. it is in fact completely made up by its founder and the engine of its existnece Brigham Young, despite the fact that it is purely a well meaning but false scripture and direction for people to follow and believe in. this might be the best example of what happens when positive thinking succeeds in the realm of religion when it is not even remotely sanctioned by God. Fermi the nuclear phyciciist knew he was only a scientist,and cranked away under that stadioum until he had a working reactor, Joseph smith was creating literature, but fell in love with it to the poiunt that he thought it was real and had happened, the writer Blaisae Cendrars named himself , this, because to write is to burn,Let it be a lesson to all writers, clearly we see the intoxicating power of creativity mixed with positive thinking and i guess an inordinat amount of devil may caredness and will power.
It is not scripture given by God, and though by his wishing he made it seem so, he will have some explaining to do on his day of judgement.um.. i found your essay refreshiing an incitefull, im a a theologian and Christian man but also a musician,and was a feature writer of sorts for a topical magazine, your logic is good and you write well and the pic was topical, the last i heard that magazine was deeply in debt and on the verge of collapse,um...yknow i dont even know if that organic "um "pause works.. i crtiqued a guy who as trying to make up a new religion called "dudism",and he mocked it in his re review.....If you check out my portfolio the best one is lazarus...now though it is or isnt appropraiate I invite you to call on the name of Jesus for any fears hopes or worries for yourself or family members, he is alive and listens....thank you for your piece...uh pax in christ alone |
