the abstraction distraction

There are many who cannot think in terms of abstractions, for them their attraction is for the concrete they can see feel and touch. This inability to focus on our spiritual nature results in some really odd positions that seem natural and even logical from their limited perspective in the present. The future really does not seem of great concern if one cannot project abstractions from the more concrete present connexions. The religious nature of man is designed to prepare us for a future with many facts missing. These facts as they become known are replaced by the awareness of a growing number of facts we do not yet understand at all, let alone fully. The natural is difficult enough for it to embrace everything that is known already. The super nature of supernatural is not yet understood anywhere near completely, but we have hints hovering all around us. So then it is for these people, easy to believe in the supernatural ability of Christ to rise from the dead. But it is far too cumbersome for them to realize anyone could by their own faith in a Christ who could accomplish this, also themselves have the faith to believe they could do anything much at all, much less tap into that power that could heal anyone or cast a mountain into the sea. Without this ability to ignore limitations and venture into the unknown, the future is postponed until they might do it accidentally. Accidentally connected events have resulted in some great leaps ahead in our understanding of the spiritual that give us advantages in the concrete. These accidents come out of planned efforts, they do not just pop up out of nowhere as an unplanned evolutionary view might appear to magically materialize from the spirit. There are no limitations to our roving darting thoughts, as we similarly see reflected in the limitless galaxies of an expanding universe. Just because I do not understand the algebra of something does not mean it is not understandable. If I persist then persistance alone propells me forward. Faith persists. Persistance is the backbone of faith.
