The ancient spirit, the human spirit, and the holy spirit. The Good because it’s always good, the bad because there’s this human factor, and the ugly because it’s not bound to just one faith and goes everywhere. The Holy Spirit spreads its light everywhere.
Revelation 21:23,
“The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.”
As Catholic, I can tell you, there’s something about the spirits, and there’s something about the heavenly bodies that’s common. The father, the son, and the holly spirit… the sun, the moon, and the earth. The ancient spirit, the human spirit, and the holly spirit.
How did it came to be that Christians were the first to land on the moon? Those who believe in the moon calendar should have developed the desire to get there first and realize the truth of their religion. That’s where the difference of apparent and heartfelt faithfulness comes in. God called upon people of all the faith, not only to conquer the earth but the whole universe. Christians were in the front line to answer that call. They’ve always been.
“It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”
So moon is the witness of accomplishments of the Christians, that we as people of faith inspired the world to explore the heavenly bodies.
Once America and Japan were enemies, but today JAXA has joined hands with NASA to make a permanent mark of man, on the moon. ESA is working on it as well, and so are other space agencies around the world. Neil Armstrong will always be known as the captain of all the space explorations, but who is Neil Armstrong? He’s not just a Christian, or An American, he’s every body out there, every country, every faith, that’s looked up to the sky and wandered about heavens. Every one that’s every dreamed about the stars is Neil Armstrong.
The spirit that’s ancient, that’s walked with us throughout the history is also the one that’s flown back to us from an unknown time in future. Nothing’s ever new to it, nothing’s ever old. Like wise, the human spirit, that’s always learning and the holy spirit that’s always filling in… telling and teaching.
What we’ve learned from history is that nations with more far and future seeking goals are also the ones that make it. It is a rule that’s by nature, no one can change it.
To explore the universe, uncover it’s unknowns should be the desire of each and every individual that forms an individual in this community. The human community? Yes, but I must say the Christian community, because that’s the only way to inspire it in other faith groups.
The spirit of the jungle, the spirit of the island, the spirit of the mountains, the spirit of the oceans, the spirit of the deserts, the spirit of the cities, the spirit of the Iceland, the spirit of the Savannah… the spirit remains undivided by the outlook of the landscapes. It has been the same holly spirit, the one that’s taught in the Christian books that’s revived and revitalized the lessons of spirituality among the human beings and its various roots.
The human spirit takes you to the ancient spirit, and the holy spirits gives you the necessary light. Whether you are standing in the wide open nature and feeling the spirit of the nature, or whether you are sitting in the cage, it is the same holly spirit that’s mentioned in the Bible, that guides your senses.
Christianity is a faith of light bearer, where by there are countless candles on the path, you follow the candles, and candles lead you where you can find yourself, your God, and then no need to say, your salvation.
God, faith, and faithfulness. May God all the travelers towards their destinies. Amen.
