I heard a Physicist on TV say that dark matter “Is like peering into the unknown with a flashlight until we see the next thing.  And that next thing will be the place where we will peer into the unknown again.”  The process is always forward.

Father once said to me that all great spiritual movements of the world could have launched the next one.  Except, we plant ourselves on them and stop looking forward.

And then, of course, we turn it into religion and lose it’s power.  But that’s not my topic.

His point is: We limit ourselves.  And He doesn’t.   He loves our fascination with His revelations, but THEY aren’t the magic.  HE is.  And He created more.

The journey isn’t over until we decide we can’t go any farther.  And then someone else must peer with their flashlight, into the unknown.  With the heart of an adventurer, an explorer, they reach into dark matter, the void, the unknown.  To find more because ….it’s there.  It’s always there.

This is The Kingdom within us.  And it’s how science works.  

DOES EXPLORATION MEAN DISSATISFACTION?

Someone said to me, “Why do you want more?  Why aren’t you content with what you have?”  And I’m truly befuddled by the thought. Does reaching into the unknown mean I’m unsatisfied?  

I’m grateful for what I have.  So much sometimes that it overwhelms me with joy and love.  And I glow with it.  I’ve said “Thank you” to Father for an hour because I simply couldn’t stop.  Like a child on Christmas morning who discovers it never ends.  It doesn’t stop because ….. there’s more. More discoveries out there in the void of dark matter, the unknown.  The place I haven’t gone ….yet.  And I reach for my flashlight.

I’m like a miner who finds a diamond but knows there’s a vein inside the mountain.  He reaches into the darkness and screws up his courage to go get it.

HAVE NO FEAR

I tell people: Go ahead and reach out there.  Father’s got your hand.  

Maybe its irresponsible of me to send people into the unknown.  After all, dark matter might expose demons and things that go bump in the night.  Actually, I’m pretty sure it will.  And every one of them lived inside their heart all along.  It’s wher I found a lot of my demons.

I know that’s scary.  I asked Father for years not to show me anything scary.  And then I discovered the scary stuff was inside me the whole time.  Plus, it was never going to go away until I stopped running away from it. That’s when I found that I can turn around and look at anything.  As long as He is holding my hand I’m perfectly safe.  He’ll tell me what to do about it, and how to resolve it right now.

Reaching into the unknown has a side-effect.  It demands that I deal with things inside me and get them fixed.  I can’t move forward until I do.  It’s like a car ignition that won’t turn-over.  I’ll be at a stand-still.  And that’s not moving.

The point isn’t to struggle with inner demons for the rest of my life.  But to see the magic of moving, like a river, where nothing stagnates or gets stuck.  It either gets fixed or it falls off. One way or the other, it’s gone in the moving waves

I kinda like it when they fall off and I discover I never needed that thing.

ONWARD!

Anyway, I can’t stop encouraging people to go forward, to just start moving and turn up the pace until they’re running.  Like Paul said he was reaching for the goal.  Except he didn’t say that the goal isn’t just one, unless you’re talking about Father.  Yes, He is the only goal.  But gaining new understanding about His character is a journey, a never ending one.  It leads from one treasure to another and another, always reaching forward.

That’s why I say “Reach out there!  And never stop!  Keep moving forward!  It can only be awesome results!”

Blessings on your adventure in reaching.
