To believe I can predict the future is speculation based on my belief of the past and is not prophecy, it is merely to believe what happened in the past and make a prediction about the future either by what I have read or imagined. To know is here and now in the present that is truth, all I can truly know.
Each of us imagines our own reality through experience and learning from others.
What do I want? “I don’t know!!!”
I already have what I want, and I don’t know what that is, because I never can know what I want.
The past never returns, there is only my imagination of what happened in the past, and the future never comes, there is only the imagination that tomorrow will come … like a knife that cannot cut itself and fire cannot burn itself, so too, I cannot know what I want: what I do is trust that God knows what I need.
Not knowing is desirelessness, working, eating my daily bread, and walking on my chosen path in life in the here and now. There is no self or desires, only the light of his holy presence. In my daily walk and I let go of the things of the world around me: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; the stripping away of all that is not me.
The secret of life is to: Be born again, dying to self before I die … For me ; That is the truth of the here and now, living in the presence of God…
