There is one God the Father, from whom is everything and for whom we are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through who, is everything and through whom are we. The face it but a reflecting surface of the soul. The soul is a psychic, inner natures of an object, and its mental side is something private which only the object itself can experience. Hence, even if one grants that some possess gifts of which other mortals are deprived, these cannot possibly be the means of directly perceiving the inner qualities or states of any object external to the observer. All bodies actually have an inner or psychological nature or aspect. However, the psychic character of inorganic bodies may be much lower than that of human beings or animals. The difference is mainly one of speed and the fluent nature of the inner life of inorganic systems tends to go unnoticed because of its very vast slowness. You cannot expect the constituted authorities to inquire into the state of a man’s soul. Do not be mistaken, gradualness does not mean a lower type of consciousness. We must learn to accommodate ourselves to the discovery that some of those cunningly fashioned instruments called human souls have only a very limited range of music, and will not vibrate in the least under a touch that fills others with tremulous rapture or quivering agony. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 8

If we consider various inanimate objects attentively, we shall observe (among many other things) the strong and unceasing impulse with which waters hurry to the ocean, [the] persistency with which the magnet turns ever to the North Pole, [the] eagerness with the electric poles seek to be reunited, and which, just like human desire, is increased by obstacles [as well as] the choice with which bodies repel and attract each other, combine and separate, when they are set free in a fluid state, and emancipated from the bonds of rigidity. To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul. A private relationship of worshipping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness. Like Sunbeams, the soul of a human pervades and enlightens surrounding matter. If your worship is right in your sequestered relationship with God, then when He sets you free, you will be ready. The yearning of a soul, formed by Nature is a peculiar mould, for communion with those to whom it bore a resemblance, yet of whom it was not. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 8

Furthermore, if we attend to the way in which a load hampers our body by its gravitation towards the Earth, we shall feel directly [that it] unceasingly presses and strains [our body] in purist of its one tendency.  It is in the unseen life, which only God has seen, that you have become perfectly fit. And when the day comes, you can be relied upon by God. Look attentively at a torrent dashing headlong over rocks, whose boisterous vehemence can arise only from an exertion of strength. As for the celestial bodies, if we observe them carefully we shall see they play with each other, betray mutual inclinations, exchange as it were amorous glances, yet never allow themselves to come into rude contact. We know from the theory of the living organism that the soul is a more tender organism than the body, and it shrinks from the prospect of being subjected to violence. Once, the very soul of a plant stood visibly before me and I saw not only a special outward clarity of the flowers but also the inward light which in all likelihood caused the outer appearance. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 8

It is not inconceivable that plants, trees, rocks, and water have souls, in fact some have been on Earth much longer than many humans have been alive, and something must go on in the simplest inanimate things. In Redcrest, California USA, there is an attraction called the “Immortal Tree,” and it is 1,000 years old. It was once 298 feet tall, but is not 258 feet tall with base diameter of 14.5 feet. For a perceptive, the Heckscher building in Manhattan, New York USA, on 50 East 42^nd street is 317 feet tall, and the Coit Tower in San Francisco, California USA, located at 1 Telegraph Hill Boulevard is 210 feet tall. And the California States Capitol is 247 feet tall. The immortal tree, standing at 258 feet tall, has survived lighting, fire, floods, and axe happy loggers. The tree has had many instances of nearly dying: lightening removed the top of the tree and set it ablaze, but it survived. In 1908, a logger tried to cut the tree down with an axe, but he broke his axe and nearly cut off his arm in the process, the tree has survived many forest fires and the flood of 1964. All souls are by nature equal, and much like the immortal tree, the human spirit does not perish of a single wound, nor exhaust itself in a single trial of life. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 8

I feel myself almost a spirit when I gaze upon stars. A soul is something that has eluded all the search of the anatomist. However, plants are in essential respects so much like humans that one cannot consistently attribute a psychic or soul life to humans and animals, but refuse it to plants; the borderlines between animate and inanimate objects reveals them to have impressive likeness to humans, animals, and plants, indicating the existence of inner psychic being there also. Planets manifest many of the same vital process that are found in humans: nutrition, growth, reproduction, and many more. Like humans, plants are born and pass away. Moreover, it is simply not true that plants lack the power of spontaneous movement which we observe in humans and animals. Does not the plant turn its buds and leaves to the light, does it not send its roots where it finds nourishment, and its tendrils where is finds support? Does it not close up its petals at night or when it rains, and does it not open them in the Sunshine? If there is so great a correspondence between the visible process why should there not be a correspondence in the invisible process? #RyanPhillippe 5 of 8

Only through submission to God and through acceptance of his revelation can we gain completely certain knowledge. God is the creator, God as that into which created all beings have returned, and the Universe is in  a process of passing from God in his first form to God in his last form. Natura is eternal; the whole process is eternally present; and everything is a theophania, a manifestation of God. What then will humans do in this state? Will they doubt everything? Will they doubt whether they are awake? Whether they are being pinched, whether they are being burned, will they doubt that they doubt, will humans doubt that they exist? Who will this tangle? Know then, proud humans, what a paradox you are to yourself. Humble yourself, weak reason. Silence yourself, foolish nature, learn that human beings infinitely suppress humans, and hear from your master your real state which you do not know. Hear God. It is not unreasonable to believe in God. If there is a God, he is infinitely incomprehensible to us. Both our present lives and our possible future lives may well be greatly affected by the alternative we accept.  #RyanPhillippe 6 of 8

Hence, since eternal life and happiness is possible result of one choice (if God does exist) and since nothing is lost if we are wrong about the other choice (if God does not exist and we choose to believe that he does), then the reasonable gamble, given what may be at stake, is to choose the theistic alternative. On who remains an unbeliever is taking an infinitely unreasonable risk just because one does not know which alternative is true. The prophecies, the miracles themselves, and the proofs of our religion are not of such a nature that it could be said they are absolutely convincing, but they are also of such a kind that it cannot be said that it would be unreasonable to believe them. Thus there is evidence and obscurity to enlighten some and confuse others, but the evidence is such that is surpasses or at least equals the evidence to the contrary, so that it is not reason that can determine humans not to fllow it, and thus this can only be as a result of lust or malice of heart. [So] that it appears those who follow in [religion], it is grace and not reason which makes them follow it, and that in those who shun it, it is lust and not reason that makes them shun it. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 8

The Father is represented as the first and final cause, the Lord as the instrumental cause. God has eternal power, which he revealed by means of what he created. That is why they are waiting around to kiss my grits. Humans capable of receiving revelation knew about God, but turned away to worship the creation instead of the Creator. There are a lot of adjectives to describe God. God is uncontained, without needs, incomprehensible, eternal, imperishable, and invisible. Christ as God and a man: the timeless, the invisible for us was visible, the intangible, the impassible who for us was passible. He has no defect; he is not contained or measurable but contains all. Any object, whatever it be, acquires value when any interest, whatever it be, is taken in it. Value is that which attaches to any object of interest. Interest is defined as that which is characteristic of the motor-affective life, namely, instinct, desire, feeling, will, and all their states, acts, and attitudes. A thing is an object of interest when it is being expected induces actions that anticipate its relaxation or nonerealization. To live always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. (www.thedeedle.com) #RyanPhillippe 8 of 8
