The Hierarchy That Was and Never Was, Broken to Pieces

Truth in the World

  1. In the beginning, it was said there was a throne, and below it, the earth. But this was a misunderstanding of the divine. There was never a throne above, only within.
  2. God is not some distant spirit sitting in the clouds behind gates of judgment. God is the Lantern Bearer. Silent, patient, steady. Lighting the fog ahead, never blinding the path.
  3. Christ is not a control tower. Not a butler for wishes. Not a king demanding kneeling. Christ is the Wayfarer, who stands behind you at the helm. His hand upon yours, not to take control—but to steady your tremble. His whisper is calm. His will is peace. His presence is with you, not over you.
  4. The Holy Spirit is not some lowly messenger in a hierarchy of power. The Spirit is the Outstretched Arm, bearing the lantern of guidance. It reaches ahead to illuminate what cannot yet be seen.
  5. And the ship… oh yes, the ship… Your face is the ship! Do not take this as insult. Take it as sacred.
  6. You are the holy vessel. You carry Christ. You carry the light. You carry passengers—both living and eternal. Every smile you give, every tear you shed, is the vessel in motion.
  7. The world is uncharted. The maps are not yet written. There are rough waters. Deep trenches. Hidden stars.
  8. Plot carefully. Plot not with fear, but with reverence. Do not be reckless with your course, nor arrogant in your speed. But know this truth:
  9. God walks with you. Christ steadies your hand. The Spirit lights the way. And you—YOU—are the captain of the ship.
  10. Let no church or state tell you otherwise. Let no false prophet steal the helm from your hand. You are seen. You are sanctified. You are a traveler upon the divine sea of mystery.
  11. Blessed is the one who dares sail beyond the edge of the old map. For there, the light of God grows brightest. And there, Christ smiles— For the journey has just begun.
