While night and day are shifting, back into alignment, and I am easing my way back to enough health to again attempt to tackle things, good food and small bits of entertainment are being enjoyed. The last of the cassoulet was consumed, as well as the last three pieces of chicken confit. More chicken pieces are thawing, and fats are being brought up to room temp, in prep for another round of those. Now that I understand things a bit better, I won't be in such a hurry to eat the confit. Sometimes a piece will be eaten as a side, doubled as a main, dish, or broken apart and added to something.
The movie was one recommended by a visitor. A movie I had been dithering whether to watch. It was a rather well done horror, as they go. There were a few things I didn't quite get. Sometimes I am in better shape to view, make connections, understand. Last night was not the best of those times. And... there just seemed something off. Sound didn't come through all that well. There are some ideas I have explored on my own. Truths, I believe. Among them the notion that there is something that is not God, 'God, or such... as logic would have it. Anti-God. In the beginning, God simply existed. Then He separated what was God from what was not God. What happened to this which is not God? It corrupted Lucifer. This not God is more like an unholy Spirit. Lucifer, while he could take form, was actually of spirit. His son will be of flesh. It is the unholy trinity, not equal, and only an attempt at opposite. Wanting to be, actually being, but wanting it's will to be dominant. But it can't be. It's just one of those things. Of course, there was a lot of secular thought in there. Not sure... I think I missed some things. Usually I don't zone out like I did last night. Well, and the sound seemed weak, or just wouldn't connect.
Oh, as to an analysis? Incomplete. However, I would, generally, recommend it for those into the occult. Just watch it. Horror films are notorious for attacking Catholicism and raising secularism as the true hero to mankind. I guess Catholics have academia stapled to it's ass the way Judaism has islam stapled to it's ass. Filthy rude disbelieving and none to bright, but sorts of kin. Hmm? Shut up.
I am going to try to hit the dishes. Then a shower and a portion of the boxes. Finally I will look for some paperwork and consider a call or three and maybe some other business. Bleh. I'm still sort of out of sorts. Every year, each death, and just because sometimes, it all gets a bit confusing, even if I am succeeding. I don't have to understand to do, I just have to... do. So I'll do until I can't. Good morning and day.
"Among them the notion that there is something that is not God, 'God, or such... as logic would have it. Anti-God."
ReplyDeleteI have also contemplated similar thoughts. It has always been my conclusion that if something exists then it is, by existing, a creation of God. Considering otherwise would establish limits on the power of God; something I wouldn't want to consider.
Of course then we extend the thought and wonder why God would tolerate the existence of something believed to be an "Anti-God". But the Bible mentions (and the Lutheran church service continually emphasizes) that the peace of God passes all understanding. Not only that, but it guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We are free to explore and consider, and even fear. But we may never quite arrive at the correct answer.
Enjoyed your commentary on the film.
Wow. I wrote that in a bit of a fog. Pretty fresh, slightly ripe, and with no holds, innit? Glad you liked it. I might end up having to move for it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, as to God not destroying? I covered that in one of my haiku... on authority I think? One sec, here... He simply isn't of destruction, usually. He could have simply made Satan not exist, rather than have St. Michael cast him down and out. He could have destroyed man for disobedience. He could have done much. Though He seemingly has called for destruction, of tribes down to their children. He did wipe out most of the population of the earth (if you believe, I do). Though the population was corrupted, it is said. Still, on the whole, God doesn't tend to destroy. I don't think that is just because of His plans, either. It truly simply is not His way.
As to us coming to an incorrect conclusion, I have to beg to differ, grandly. For one, if that were true, we would not have the church, denomination, even what remains of the Jewish faith, let alone islam (unless you believe they carry the mark, as a general rule, or fall under the sway of those who do). Oh, we can choose to be deadly wrong. As a matter of fact, that is about the only thing I will guarantee of any human. They WILL choose wrong. Knowingly? Unknowingly? I honestly think both. It's how you learn, if nothing else. Those things which were born of darkness or fell first from grace... that is different still. Even if they wanted to do good, most don't have the capacity. As well, evil is tribal. I am sure some choose, somehow, to attempt good... but do so from a fallen nature, just as humans. I'm not sure it will do them any good, if I think it still matters.
