| Re: My Theory
I came up with this analogy while mowing the yard a few minutes ago. I do my best thinking behind a lawn mower, go figure.
In nature, God is everywhere, teaching us.
During the annual salmon run, the mighty bear will faithfully wait on a river rock for food to come to him, and it does. The bear, by faith, has maximized his energy (water) exchange. He got fed through the path of least resistance.
The salmon is following it's path of life as prescribed by the absolute. It's only motivation is replication. Nearing the end of it's own life cycle, it desperately seeks to return to it's upstream spawning grounds. However, there is the occasional bear that wishes to be fed. If the salmon is eaten by a bear, rather than replicate a salmon, that salmon assists in the replication of the bear.
We are both the bear and salmon at the same time. As the mighty bear, wait by faith, and food will come. When you are fed, become the salmon and feed your brother, that he too may become the mighty bear.
God loves us all. He wants all of us to have an abundant life, together. Together, we can!
Thanks to all of those who have read my posts. I will certainly engage in further discussions if anyone wishes. It is my hope that those here, that I know are brighter than myself, will assist in this quest. I truely want to live in a world of unity, love, and respect for all of life. If we could only choose these things together, we could have these things together!
