Characteristic Weaknesses Transformed into Strengths:
Virtues are natural to Man, and when desired, when called upon, when prayed for sincerely, deliberately and needfully induced, their messengers will beckon, and their characteristics shall be grafted to our being. The weakness shall be restored into that which it was originally destined to become, as follows:
Man acting against himself, certainly champions him later against all other foes of his own humanity. Perhaps we gain insight best (even though it becomes a grave matter indeed to do so) of the world’s weaknesses, through those experienced within our selves (in part). For the man who has gone against himself and felt the injury because of it, he is later to be forewarned of influences which similarly would drive his demise. When redeemed – self-redeemed – he becomes all the stronger, and cautious, due to this learning.
The past and its associated demons may return to demand yet more and more of a man, insatiably – as the past is wont to do. The repetition involved is merely part and parcel of the nature of the Past, and the associated demons opportunistically will feed from any vitality spent in the halls of negative regression. When transformed, this indulgence may lend itself to that of a proper desistancy – knowing not of our abandoning our present-day egoic consciousness to past recollections obsessively, but rather taking a period of rest from that day-waking egoic consciousness into the realms of the Greater Will.
Quite often a person will replay the past because it is a domain which they feel they can control. It is a set scene so to speak. Even the memory-recollections which are traumatic offer up a secondary safety in the retelling and in the constant outcome which is anticipated and reknown. However, the indulgence of these memories is diminutive to the consciousness which feels safely narrowed within this spent time.
Occasional reminiscences are treasures to be respected, but the tendency to overwork the recall and dwell very much within it (to the point of obsession) confines the individual and thus limits them terribly.
Once worked through we can come to the proper means to desistance, which is in the allowing of our most ancient of memories to call to us – from Father God. By giving over to Him we are making space for yet further and new beginnings within our daily lives – something which cannot occur if we are fully living within our egoic Christ-consciousness all of the time; and without rest either.
The Physician of Christ
Apportions time for the World,
And time for the Spiritual Worlds
With the divine realization
That both Father God and Christ
Are ever present in each concurrently.
