That's probably already happened too i would guess.

I would think there is at least one act left yet.

Elijah the Prophet (the Prophet to herald the final redemption
from our present exile)
said to Rabbi bar Yochai (Primary author of the Zohar)

"In the end of days, in the last generation,
this work of yours-the Zohar- will be revealed below.

Many people will be sustained and nourished by this work and on it,s account you will proclaim freedom in the land"

i.e. Redemption will come.

If those forces are not wanted why strive to bring them down?
Speaking only for myself...
With God being the Life Force of everything, those forces just happen with the presence of God. If one is striving for those Life Forces, they are looking in the wrong direction.

I read some of the text in the link too,
it named nature and laws nature,

though I read in a rush, just had to get out for a while.

Anyhow, nature is wonderful to see, but it is not from nature my help will come.

"I lift my eyes to the mountains-from where will my help come?"

From the mountains? No.

"My help will come from the Maker of heaven and earth."


The One who is not limited by the laws of nature,
but transcends the laws of nature,

and spiriuality and religion.
Immanent and transcendent in His own Creation is the images I'd use. It’s a God present every moment, in our Heart, in our Mind, in our Consciousness, in our Intelligence, in our Creativity, in our Work, in our Food, in our Body, God is everywhere, immanent, present, everywhere. It just does not work for me to separate the artist from their creation. The mystery happens when finding the presence of God in the Mountain as well as in Heaven. I'm not a Dualist.

But is also possible to ascend to a higher level.

Sometimes I wonder if we are not living in a replay,

At some point the curtain goes up.

The lights go on.

Choices? we don,t have many,

All the big ones are already made.

I just wonder,

If you are a Christian, then it should not bother you. When you are on the stage, you simply play.

Of course, you still can think if you are simply replaying when you play.

What do you mean by ascending to a higher level?

I do not mean like passing an exam.

Better would have been to say, be lifted up,

even if only but for a moment, the soul can soar in higher realms.
A song of ascents begin some Psalms with,


What one seeks in This World directs the path of his soul as it ascends the spiritual realms.

We can already get a foretaste even if but for a moment.

But then you would have to remember your lines.

But if it has already been played?

Not certain "Replay" is the right word either.

But if one were to read a story in a book from beginning to end.

Then one would know what will happen next.

If one only read a part of the story there is a chance one would be more or less clueless about what is going on.

But for the author, he would know exactly.

Are you meaning something like Ecstatic states of consciousness? Where one's Soul reaches towards Oneness with the Divine, maybe? Yes, that's possible.

No doubt you too have experienced it?

I just wonder,
I can see a replay, but in a spiral type of movement. It's never exactly the same show, but moves forward with different actors and a slightly new script with each showing.

Not replay like two teams draw even and have to play again, replay.

Well, I realize that the title is not correct.

But I know not of another word.

It was just a wondering nothing nailed down.

It may have been out of exhaustion of all those who rally for free choice,

it always baffles me, I have never chosen to believe,
I do not know where they get it from.

But no doubt it makes them feel good.

Here is the MAIN difference between a Jew and a Christian.
When a Christian plays, he is playing under His guidance. If so, the only thing to focus is to play or replay (for Him) and have no ifs.
