Context
I've talked about it over the years (the way I talk to myself), but now I'm starting to see how powerful a thing *context* is.
[This post will be taken wrong. I'm talking about POWER in seeing something in TRUE context. Not just seeing something in some different made-up context. The three example below are weak. I'll leave them, but they're weak. A good example I'm talking about is going through the Grimm's tales and finding the context of each tale. Because it's not spelled out. The 12 Dancing Princesses. It's about the afterlife, but it doesn't tell you that explicitly in the tale. You have to find the context. (And only the Ralph Manheim translation which is absolutely literal will bring that context out.) Something like seeing people being commanded to kneel currently. The context is bow your knee to the Beast system. Nowhere is that stated, but it is the CONTEXT.]
Three examples.
1. You see it in sexual phenomena. The same equation (sexual scenario) in one context is blah, yet in a different context it's heightened erotic crazy energy. Whether mental or real life. An attractive woman on a nude beach is one thing, but then you notice it's your attractive neighbor and suddenly you're like "Whoah, oh my God!!!" Different context.
2. You have total disgust for a drug addict outside the window of a restaurant you're dining at. Then an angel whispers in your ear: she was given up by her mother when she was five. Spent her childhood and teen years in eleven different not very good Foster families. She was let go at sixteen after commiting a petty crime. She only knew guys who were on the street doing drugs. Her worldly environment, the same one you live in, is purely Satanic, and she had no protection from it.
3. You're reading the Old Testament for the umpteenth time. It's ho hum. Same old. Suddenly you start seeing new context as you read the old narratives, and it gives new meaning. It connects with history (Hillary and Jezebel, for one example), real life (seeing Trump hold up that Bible like Athena holding up the Aegis in battle[to use the Homeric epics]), your own individual life (like reading that Moses had a unique education, and thinking of your own connection with a unique education regarding Work teaching), etc... Infinite examples.
The point though is how *powerful* context can be, when pondered and used with discernment in the service of truth and understanding.
