Come back to harmony!
As deep reflection goes, the mind being enlightened by the remarkable understanding that the past’s eternity is the initial setting of the creation story in Genesis. Surprisingly, eternity starts from the unexplainable “deep eternity of darkness.” The absolute creative forces transform “deep of darkness” into harmony.
In the description from Genesis, harmony is explained as the dancing between light and darkness. It reflects human nature who strived to explain the meaning of life, sin, salvation, the human race, and the Hebrew nation. It begins with primeval history centered on four major events: the Creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the nations’ dispersion.
The amazing part is when God, by willful act and divine Word, spoke all creation into existence, furnished it, and finally breathed life into a lump of dirt which He fashioned in His image to become Adam and completed by Eva. God made humankind the crowning point of His creation, i.e., His companions who would enjoy fellowship with Him and bring glory to His name.
Creation is the work of God. Yet the nature of humankind is continuing reverence their deep dark past eternity. The awareness toward the presence of the absolute creative force is necessary. The ability to enfold the right creative attitude is a part of the daily spiritual practice of becoming humankind.
That is why the calling to come back to harmony is a calling that reckons to echo into the deep dark past eternity. That dynamic can be called as healing transformation or being reborn or reclaiming the essence of humankind. Start by utilizing the right creative attitude toward wholeness. Then, the wholeness is being created inside.
Contemplating the process of becoming with all its paradoxes, tensions, struggling, and blessing is necessary. Every aspect of a creative, growing process and partnership with God is a part of the necessary journey. Have an attitude of the right creativity will nurture the wondering child within and being blessed.
Come back to harmony, then become the mantra that brings safe, acceptance, forgiveness, and love. No matter how old humankind gets, if they can keep the desire to have “the right creative attitude,” they can keep “the man-child” alive and be transformed to be better in every process of becoming. Always come back to harmony!
