The Paternal Side of Faith

Most of us leap in
courage, (not faith)
Into a hidden future.
It is the validation
Through perceived alignment
With our subconscious
That we declare as Faith.
Hope drives me to be
Courageous and act upon
the unconscious groanings
perceived by my conscious-self
and reinforced by the empirical word--these
Counted as Faith. How often
the dark world pulls me--a child of light,
Toward a dark Gnosis.
If the Paraclete is as I believe,
then He is continually Re-incarnating mankind and
pulling us in so many new
directions.
Is this the end times' curse we are promised?
Or is this
the New Incarnation foretold by the
Symbolic Revelation of Christ's-Love, John?:
That a New World will come to our
Unconscious and unite with the empirical
to find completion for our conscious-self?
As Christ the
God, became Man--so to bring
Man to become the Son of God's own
inheritance--now made incarnate by
the Holy Spirit imparted to believers:
Oh, how great a plan!--that God would
desire me as fellow and bring
to us--His own Being. The Mystery
beyond all Mysteries! I lift my
eyes to you in exaltation of the Great
Revelation.
Protestantism began with the introduction
of Empirical Science to the European mind,
Ripe for Argument.
The Paternal side of Christianity is ever
The Revolutionary.
Without something to protest, there is no
Reformation!
One must thank the ritual
of the Catholic Church, the Christian Maternal,
for sustaining and nurturing both
"Ave Maria" and the soul-nature of
Mankind.
