Intrepid

I was watching Jeopardy the other night and I found out that intrepid means fearless. That's cool to know. I wouldn't mind being intrepid. In fact, I finally feel like I'm headed that way. It's wild to think that fear doesn't even exist. Heck, I don't even exist...uh-oh, now I'm scared. Just kidding.

The truth is I don't exist separate from God. There's gotta be a difference between not existing and not existing separately from God, right?

  1. Right! I was watching a show last night on the Gospel of Judas. Jesus tells him - and only him - that the body is just a prison and that he/we could never comprehend what it's REALLY all about... the vastness and glory of it all and THOSE words don't even do it justice! My tiny little thought of what "heaven" might be like is truly "tiny little" I think. That is something I think about a lot! It does seem a scary and intimidating proposition . Like will I be able to understand it when I get there if it's so ginormous? If it's all me I would probably explode being unable to contain it myself, but if it's all us then we can do this!!! No fear! No intrepid!

  2. Exactly! What you say reminds me of something Gary and his Teachers, Arten and Pursah, said in the book, The Disappearance of the Universe. They said, and I'm paraphrasing, what you are cannot even be contained by your universe! Mind blowing!

  3. DU p 188:
    You think your universe is impressive because it's all you can remember. You think it's big, but it's not. What you've done is make yourself look and feel small, like one little piece of the puzzle. You're like a child with little toys you don't want to give up. Yet what you really are cannot even be contained by your universe.
