Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) And there are three varieties...

Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma, the sun is the visible form of E/c2
Mental E/c2 - Our thinking can produce creativeness, light, and good things
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

The Natural E/c2 in the form of mass produces a gravity that attracts other objects
The Intellectual E/c2 produces a gravity that draws us to study
The Spiritual E/c2 also has a gravity that draws and makes religion attractive

7. When people lose their essential nature by following desires, their actions are never correct. 8. Anxiety and lament burn the heart, so sickness builds up. If people can get rid of all these, then they merge with spiritual light. Spiritual light is attainment of the inward. When people attain the inward, their internal organs are calm, their thoughts are even, their eyes and ears are clear, and their bones are strong. - Lao-Tzu

i gotta get out of the political arena for a while. It's having a negative impact on my life. I won't be watching the news, either.

Too much negative energy....
Life’s too short....

I know of a former pastor of our church who died a good bit ago in his nineties. The man had a third grade education but could really preach a good message and died studying his bible.

Our current pastor has a Masters degree from Liberty University but of terrible character. When the man with the third grade education was pastor you had to come early for a good seat, now the man with a Masters degree is pastor he comes to an almost vacated church.

Inability to tell good from evil is the greatest worry of man's life. - Cicero

It is amazing to me that we live in such an educated society, but for all the education there is so little virtue (what I described as Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy) but you call it what you want). And such little virtue, or outright darkness and cold, wear and tear away at the soul.

"When your rank is high in the world, then your vitality and spirit are depleted daily, eventually to become dissipated and not return to the body. When the vitality, spirit, will, and energy are calm, they fill you day by day and make you strong. Therefore the sages keep nurturing their spirit, make their energy gentle, and flow with the way. " - Lao-Tzu

Such spirituality as we get these days deplete us daily, and we need that which creates vitality, spirit, and will.

Isaiah 29:14 New International Version (NIV)
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”

1 Corinthians 1:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Rewatch “Kelly’s Hero’s”; the delightful cynicism of that film can reacquaint you with the absolute whimsy that is life, thereby gaining perspective and peace.
