Muriel, whose darkness are you 'experiencing'? It can't be tycho's. Because tycho is speaking, and affirming light.

Again, how can a blind man accuse a sighted friend of 'distorting the truth'? Otherwise, if, @Muriel, it's not dark 'in there' why aren't you calling the neighbors to you? Or don't you also believe and understand what you profess?

Lol. You are asking to be told by the 'illumined', the 'good news', alas, you are still waiting for a Prophet to liberate you! Haven't you had enough Prophets already? Isn't everything 'finished'?

Surely, your 'Vampire' days are over!

Let there be light.

1. The 'illumined' can't shed light to the 'unillumined'. I'll give you two reasons for this.

a. Seeing the light can only be a subjective experience of being aware of the light. No one can see on another's behalf.

b. The light is eternal, and has always been there, and therefore it is upon the individual to find sight.

2. The quest for sight is necessarily not a solo venture. There must be conversation. The single source of light is beyond names, and can never be named and 'exhausted', yet must be asked for help. And given that He is the source of all humanity, then humanity is united.

3. By saying that you are in the dark, you are either jesting or are saying the truth. Whichever way you choose, 'you lose'. If you are earnest, then you are exposing your ignorance. For whose responsibility is it to show you the light? To whom should you turn for light?

4. Clearly, you are imputing 'improper' motive on @tycho, by failing to acknowledge that the labyrinth is a personal journey whose end is the Self. For this is the constraint for all humanity. Tycho is to be made whole. By asking @ tycho to make you whole, you are implying that it is Christ who healed, when Scripture is so clear that it is faith that heals. A special encounter between man and God. By focusing on tycho, you deny God. Yet by embracing him you embrace God.

5. Whether in jest or in earnest, you indeed have no consciousness of the light. Yet, being without the light, you believe that the 'illumined' must stand on their own, and 'convince'. That is, one is his own authority.

Alas, this goes against the being of God. For God is the one who lights up the world, and binds all humanity together. That is, you too, says there's no God, even despite hiding behind institutions like the Adventists who profess to be aware of the light.

You are therefore, an 'impostor' and with a 'guilty conscience' and hence a 'Vampire'.

No. Death isn't a transition. It's cessation.

But there's this mystery of 'Christ', which involves dying, and ressurecting. It's, a mystery and message given to Man since the ancient of days.

Could this mystery be 'speculated'? Government is founded on it. Civilizations. Society.

Death entails both the physical and the spiritual. And, one cannot be, without the other.

But the Spiritual, 'causes' the Physical. So, if your spirit is alive, then your body is alive. Your body dies because your spirit is dead.

But life always affirms itself. And it's secret is 'regenaration'. It's coded in every living 'thing', and 'level'.

Regeneration in humans takes an 'interesting' twist by virtue of intelligence.

Intelligence is a form of life. It has it's own regenerative strategy; family, community, society, civilization. Being is sacred.

And as form regenerates through reproduction, intelligence regenerates via reproduction. It makes reproduction sacred, and consequently, being, sacred.

Humanity is Spiritual, in this sense. The Spirit lives and the body lives through birth. Death is defeated.

Birth, implies fatherhood, and motherhood. And different Civilizations have expressed this consciousness differently. But in essence, there's always the metaphor of God being an 'initiator'. He is. And the 'Mother', and the 'Child'. And the Child must defeat death by being the eternal child. This is done through fatherhood.

Fatherhood is eternity, infinity. Abraham was shown the stars. The father experiences the infinite. The father is the infinite.

He is beyond ancestors. I am.

The only 'light' that does not shine, cannot shine is darkness, blackness.

That is your 'light'.

That the 'illumined' cannot shed light, any light is for the simple reason that they are darkness, not even in darkness.

Say what you want, how you want, you have nothing to show. If you had, you would simply let it shine.

Please notice very carefully that I said 'let' it shine. Have you noticed, good! I am not asking you to make it, manufacture it, just let it.

Pen what you want, how you want, the only thing you can show is darkness- literally, literary.

You claim God lights up the world, yet you the self proclaimed man-god not even a flicker can you show, having not even the tiniest spark.

The only thing you ought to do, that you must do, that I have compelled you to do is to shift responsibility for lighting the world to those who can.

Thank you for doing that.

So what good are you?

Nothing!
