There's power in these verses:

http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/gracelist.html

POWER!!!

Damn it.

There's real, and then there's screwin' around.

WAKE UP!!! (I shout into the mirror.)

Why? Aren't you going to be in the same straits once
glorified? Looking for and thinking up stuff to do?

I don't know. It will probably be different,
methinks. Safe to say it will be different. Right
now we are in a difficult in-between state and
condition. Even when totally asleep we are in fallen
flesh bodies which are rather unfortunate and limited
tabernacles. Even if you have one others want to
devour then after-the-fact it's yeah, hm, right, ok,
gotta go.

And anyway I've already solved all that. It's on my
Plain Path Puritan blog. How in heaven you become the
actual material and events of heaven. It's probably
freaky at first until you begin to get the hang of it
then it's like Greek myth somewhat. Now we see
through a glass darkly.

Everything's been solved.

Over and over.

Just as in heaven you become the actual material and
events of heaven it's the same now with understanding.
If you develop understanding it actually becomes your
being, your body. We can see and feel understanding
residing in the Word of God. And in the influx of the
Holy Spirit and mortifying process of Work efforts.

Now go to the world you ungrateful vain children.
Away! Off with you. I'm the only one who knows
anything. I alone am here, awake, not dead in sin. I
alone. Me it is who knows, no one else. You have no
allies when you know and do the Work. None but me.
I, and I alone. - Me

A mark for the mind to fasten onto...

This is from here. It's the last sentence of chapter 5 on that page. The subject is the need for a mark to strive for. Glorifying God in thought, word, and deed, for instance. Or thinking from the Work rather than from life. Work aim in that sense:

For the mind, which has no fixed point to which it may return, and on which it may chiefly fasten, is sure to rove about from hour to hour and minute to minute in all sorts of wandering thoughts, and from those things which come to it from outside, to be constantly changed into that state which first offers itself to it.


Here is the larger contents page.

Just enter the realm...

Just enter the realm. (via getting that self-remembering, non-identifying wheel rolling in the right direction). Nothing else to be done. Parzival is a good guide. What else is there to do but to hit the trackless forest and expect conflict prior to reaching new worlds (worlds interpenetrate worlds).

A #5 Man is more of a 'be' state. Or 'being' state. This is where you are, this is what you are.

You can see depicted in those stories knights who seem to sit down somewhere and waste. Don't do that. They are also wounded from battles that didn't go well for them... You do have to be good with the sword and shield...

Bringing cosmos to this...

Let's be honest (ok, I'll just speak for myself because not everybody is the same regarding what I'm about to say), again, let's be honest these Work blogs die out pretty quickly. They are too problematic. Real Work effort has to be private, methinks, otherwise you're just putting down attitude in the posts and comments, i.e. no matter what you're saying about things you still look kind of OK and cool in it all. (I'm speaking for myself.)

A good use of a blog for effort is something like this. Because it is just simple recording of something done on a daily basis; a no nonsense record of actually doing and keeping up with real, simple aims. (My aims there can get more interesting as the year progresses, but for now those seem good. I don't think more than five is going to be practical though, but eventually I'll finish Tom Jones and have room for another...)

OK, forget what I said above. A new year approaches, and one can either do something in a dedicated manner or one can go day to day doing the same desultory, go-nowhere things. (By the way, '$/contained' just means for me all necessary worldly tasks and activities.)

I don't want S. or P. to stop their Work blogs. But just remember that an effort needs to be a contained cosmos to gather force within itself; and it needs to have a beginning, middle, and end.
