The light of wisdom that awakens -

Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey
 
What Light ?

The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. Matthew:4:16:

The earth is but a mote of dust
in the awesome vastness of the universe,
The known universe that is.
The more we know
The greater God becomes-

The spiritual awakening of the Christly reborn
is akin to the sudden dawning of the greatness of the awesome glory of God.
The extent of unimaginable authority manifested in man
through Christ Jesus,
The seeming littleness of everything else
When contemplated against the eternal glory of Christ resurrected
and passed on to the believer-

It calls forth a search for understanding
the comprehension of which is enlightenment.
That, no matter how great the understanding,
the glory of redemption
in the one individual person touched by the love of Christ,
Is still beyond understanding-

The rest of humanity
is for the most part hopelessly lost in the darkness of ignorance
giving undue attention to petty trivialities
Of material inconsequences,
when the incomparable power of making the love of God transform the world to its paradaisical reality is discarded
as inconsenquetial by arrogant ignorant men in denial;
Which world is but a mote of dust in the sight of God-

The discerning begins in the individual inspired by the Holy Spirit,
Sent forth to awaken the slumbering soul by teaching,
An openning of the eyes of understanding.
Thus, begins a remarkable progressive transitional journey into the light of awareness,
one that is so profound in the descent of true knowledge
that the petty contrivances around which earthly reality evolves
is subdued and fade into insignificance-

These transformations brought forth by higher spiritual intervention,
cannot be adequately carried across
to the mind that is unprepared to receive such awareness dawning,
neither are the eyes of the mind of the earthly bound,
capable of seeing into this understanding,
in such manner, is the manifest power of the Living God revealed;
enabled only to those prepared to receive such grand knowledge surpassing-

It is during the inner journey outwards
to beyond the darkness,
that the meaning of reality is redefined
by the Spirit sent forth to teach, on an individual basis.
'Salvation, is not generic, it is tailored to the individual need.'
As the inner journey outwards progresses,
The soul thus touched, torched, set ablaze by the fiery Holy Spirit,
leaves behind the world entrapped in its spiritual darkness.
Redefining rality, as it were from renewed perspectives.
"Seek not the living among the dead!"-

However, the obvious awareness permeates
all of mankind of the inadequacy of the human essence
in its totality as it presently finds expression.
The awareness fills the collective conscience that there is just so much more
that humanity is worthy of and ought to be capable of
and yet is incapable of giving expression to-

That awareness abounds -

All awareness is a seed of knowledge,
taking root within the conscious awareness,
to be discovered individually.
Which in the being sensitized to,
is an evocative awakening process that washes away
the dross of ignorance,
A fire that descends upon the hoosen setting ablaze the hitherto unlighted,
in a creative force field of knowledge revealed-

This is the level that the great teacher;
the Holy Spirit, seeks to first find a landing pad in the awakening man's mind and lead the lost
into their true heritage,
as images revived, of a mighty Father,
birthed unto abundant grace.
Becoming in each person thus touched, the source of meaning opened to the mind's eye, transforming and changing mortal beings to that of 'immortals in preparation' to inherit the earth-

Yet, peace is far removed from this mote of dust; this earth.

It is only in the decadent mind
of the earthly man that God is set within a time construct
Of Christ being a miracle event of the past,
Of miracles being unusual events
Of science and education being separated
from the universality of Gods provision
inasmuch as His word proclaims "there shall be no end to knowledge nor the search thereof of understanding
'-

There is order in the universe.
The universe within and that without,
Which with simple emphasis
Indicates an imposition of conditions unchanging
An awareness that comes only to the minds opened to receive that knowledge-

The outpouring of understanding
In the expanding knowledge
Will push the frontiers of possibilities
And will lead to an explosion of Godly worship
Of the kind that the ancients would have been incapable
Since they knew just so much
in their setting, in their time-

Deception would work against itself
In revealing through its secret;
The commonplace; that God abides in the beauty if His handiwork.
In each era of the cycle of human existence,
Suffering is directly linked to man's ignorance
and his harsh impositions against the 'innocent denied'.
Such is man's hatred gainst self
which is the self-imposition of suffering-

As love for fellow man is an acclamation of the divine providence.
"Love Jehovah thy God and love thy neighbour as thyself."
Yet how many can understand,
That in loving Jehovah we love ourselves by obeying His commands?
When the truly wise have traversed into an inner world,
outward bound,
Is there any hope for the enraged masses ensnared in the foolishness of their wicked intents?

No matter how difficult the circumstances man faces
There is the freewill
of choice, of action.
The sphere of influence of that activity,
Expands with the roll of influence a person has,
It makes sense in that sense of perception
To acknowledge that human action or inaction
Depending on role responsibilities of the individual
Has consequences for humanity as a collective-

Knowledge is a state of acquired awareness
The deeper the search,
the more revealing the awareness gained,
In Searching for order in the universe,
which basically is what education is all about
Both in form, content, and its products,
Knowledge only creates an awareness of Gods awesome grandeur-

And man's inconsequence when compared with that grandeur
It produces a sense of deep appreciation,
of true knowledge enabled by divine inspiration
when man attains that level of awareness.
Thus is the beginning of wisdom
The fear of the Lord-
