Love is the goal of all other goals

Dr. Bill Shiell said "If you have a normal family, or, even if you have a functional one..." --and I think he completely captured family reality in that eloquence-- it gave me heart and courage to continue embracing my failings, to see the faults in my family, then to un-see them. It may sound cliche, but truly it is Love --impartial compassion-- which can lift us out of our normalcy. It cuts through the little interior soap operas, the despair, the imagination-projection-neuroses. It's the one time zappa was wrong: love does conquer. the beatles were right. all you need (to solve the wrongs, pains, injustices).

In this writing, the essence of what I want to share is expressed through the stories and language of the Christian faith doctrine. There is every reason for me to say I am a Universalist, and from that, any single faith is not the only way, therefore this narrative could be retold within any doctrine, including those without faith, such as those knowing there is no God, but who possibly believe in the potential of quantum entanglement. Nearly everyone would like to think there is a One to be one with, an Afterlife, a place of infinitely interesting Peace. That's the topic. In this writing I hope to express a thought which came to me when I was 10 or so, dealing with conflict between linear time we live in and the timeless aspect of God, Heaven, the afterlife. This was a Great Paradox, a cognitive di...
