Conversations with God (series in religious thought) pt. 3

St. Anthony

#Mike and Jerome, are seated, somewhere, reading through, all, their material, and very much, pondering, its consequences, when they hear, a voice, from behind them, calling out; upon turning, to look, back, they see, St. Anthony, coming, towards them:

St. Anthony: I say, Kids, what is it, you are doing, under that tree?

Jerome: St. Anthony!! We're actually, going, through, some material, we have, to present.

St. Anthony: What material? Here, let me see: "The meaning of Life"; well, this sounds interesting.

Mike: We held discussions, with St. John, the Baptist, and, St. Jerome, and they, unveiled to us, the true meaning, of Life.

St. Anthony: Well, I see, what they are up to, but, I can tell you, its not all, that there is, out there.

Jerome: What do you mean, St. Anthony?!!

St. Anthony: Life, is more, complicated, than this, for, it is, very much, an Enigma. Life, is all about really, signs and symbols. This is kinda, complicated, but not; so listen carefully, for I do not, like, to repeat myself, too much. Life, is very much, an Enigma; a puzzlement, of some sort. It is made up, of phenomena, that mysteriously happens, and materiality, whose origins, are rather, unknown. The belief, is that, God, is the originator, of all this materiality, and, phenomena.

Mike: What do you mean, by phenomena?

St. Anthony: By Phenomena Mike, I am referring, to the strange, things, that happen, around us. An example, being, what are ghosts, what are spirits? Are visions, really real? What do eclipses, really mean; do UFO's and stargates, really exist? As you can tell, Mike, this is not, really, Kids stuff.

Mike: But what, are they, really about?

St. Anthony: Phenomena Mike, are really associated, with what, they call, signs; they are born, of signs. And signs Mike, come from God, telling us, "something is happening here, and you better understand it".

Mike: I don't understand.

St. Anthony: Let me put it, as clearly, as I can. Phenomena Mike, are born, of signs, and signs, come, from God. These signs, tell us, something, is happening, right, about, this moment. It is, for us, to understand, these signs, and their, related, phenomena. Understanding, these signs, is done really, via, Oracles. For Oracles, are all about, signs, and how, they come, to originate. Kind of, deep stuff.

Jerome: What of materiality?

St. Anthony: Materiality, is kind of, obvious, but its not. How do trees, originate, where do cats, come from? How did God, model, the human. Can we, make, these things, ourselves? Asking, these questions, leads, to the discovery, of symbols; for unknown, to many out there, all forms, of materiality, are born, of symbols. Thats what, the study, of Alchemy, is all about; symbols, and the materiality, they give birth to. Kind of deep stuff. Cats, for instance, black cats really, are believed, to originate, from the constellation, Scorpio. Complicated, alchemy stuff.

St. Anthony: So, get that right Kids, that all this, around us, is associated, with a certain symbol; you too. And knowing, these symbols, and fully understanding them, will lead us, to become, very much, like God; originators, of any kind, of materiality.

Jerome: But how, do we truly, understand, signs and symbols?

St. Anthony: Understanding them Jerome, is done, via, what they call, Solitude. Its a practise, where by, one isolates themselves, from others, out there, and quietly, ponders, the meaning, of signs, and symbols. Kind of, a meditative, state. When one, fully, understands, how signs, come about, and also, discovers, as many, symbols as they can, one realizes, they can, kind of, combine, the two, together. For signs Jerome, come about, in three ways: production, processing, and generation. Understanding, fully, these three ways, via Oracles, and combining, this knowledge, with that, of symbols, can lead us, to reproduce, just about, any form, of materiality. That means, another you Mike, if we don't, like you. And thats really, the meaning, of Life, for understanding all this said, leads us, to be, all-knowing; just like God.

St. Anthony: Well then, am kinda done here, and I guess, I 'll be, on my way. Cheers Kids.
