The Great Spirit
------------------------------

It is reasonable to say that the one we call God does have a conscience. God's own morals and ethics are the most fair and just. These qualities can only come from the mind and conscience; those intangible things necessary for the spirit to embrace from its own necessity. From our conscience comes the soul and spirit as we know it since we were created in the image of God: therefore God must have these same qualities and natures.
Nothing is a great emptyness. Something is the fulfillment of that nothing; so the mind is full of something, thoughts and memories which in the realm of mind are significant somethings and not nothing because of their quality of substance and essence.The power of thought and memory cannot be denied. An idea cannot exist with its counterpart: the mind, and a mind cannot exist without a shelter for its existence.
This one principle becomes a permanent Basis for our Elemental Thoughts. The slightest thought gives the mind its motion and empowers it to the proces of thinking. Just the same is the motion of the thoughts of the one we call God where the Great Spirit, the Holy Spirit acts as the mind of this same one we call Author of Nature and Creator of everything besides man's own inventions.
Just the same: our being rests in our mind as does God's own rest in the Holy Spirit.
I was reading some of John Keats work one day and subtle parts of this poem " I stood tip-toe upon a little hill " came to my attention. " I stood tip-toe upon a little hill, tha air was cooling, and so very still...And many pleasures to my vision started;...His mighty voice came upon the gale...So that we feel uplifted from the world...On the smooth wind to the realms of wonderment..." These lines of verse ring true in my own mind and I give thought to them often in my amazement of this glorious universe inspite of all the conditions that bear down upon us.
To such an end it is that I aspire. The deeper delving we do into the mystery of life the more knowledge we gain to fulfill our own satisfaction of understanding; and still so much remains a great mystery. Perhaps some day, or night, revelation will come and bring with it insight and enlightenment. thanks again for your time.
