3. Thread - The United State of Light

Did you think I forgot about the second thread? I didn’t. Aspiring immortals are wise to keep their rooms well lit at all times. When I lived in Africa I did a lot of African things like travel around my country of Sierra Leone, and I ate Ma Temple’s stew and breadfruit, and I drank palm wine but I also ate pizza and went dancing at the disco on the beach. That’s because I wanted to bring my country of America to that country. I wanted to be surrounded by the me-ness that was American.

One problem with being an aspiring immortal is that we have never even been to our homeland except for moments in our hearts. But we know that the place is full of light and full of love. When God turned on the light in the dark void, He made the statement of His life. He said, “ The difference between Me and everything else is this new thing called LIGHT.  From now on Light will be my M-O.” 

Darkness is not evil; everything starts with darkness. From darkness and void God created light and all we see. I know darkness is not evil because darkness doesn’t need light to exist. Evil is a parasite of good, but darkness isn’t a parasite at all, darkness is completely distinct. Darkness and light are two completely independent things. God wants to be represented by light and darkness can be everything else. Darkness always was everything else before light was created. Not everything that isn’t light and Godly is evil. Most everyone knows that instinctively, especial non- aspiring immortals. I suppose they can be smarter than aspiring immortals in that they know that goodness is universal and not always Godly. 

Aspiring immortals waste too much life-time in the darkness of normal old earth matters. The more aspiring immortals learn how to make light, study what light is (not the sun kind of course) and bask in the light the more comfortable and familiar the land of immortality will be and the more likely that our major aspiration will become reality. Some people say, think rich and you’ll get rich, think smart and you’ll get better grades. I say, decorate your space with light and when you arrive at the place where God lives, you will feel like you’ve been there for years. Let’s talk about the second thread later.
