The Guiding Principle

Without the Holy Spirit, the universe would be straight lines and perfect curves. Everyone created would think and feel according to the Creator’s design. They would act accordingly. Right and wrong would be mechanics and nothing else. If God was dissatisfied with a person, God would rectify what he disliked or simply delete the person entirely.

Something alien haunted Creation. It warped the straight lines and bent the curves. The created people thought and felt in tangents. They acted erratically. Right and wrong became good and evil. Design became questionable.

God did not create the strangeness. He did not initiate it. The “thing” influenced everything but could not itself be influenced, or even contacted. It was invisible but could be felt and its effect clearly seen. God called it a “ghost” because it “haunted” him and his creation.

God judged this strangeness. He could not judge it directly, only its effect on things. He realized it was not one or many. It did not think or feel. Whenever it touched his knowledge, it always acted for his sake, never its own. It rejected the knowledge. It rejected power. It never sought. It accepted only itself. It was unaware yet it acted in principle, always. Its effect on things was unintentional yet in all sincerity.

God was fascinated by the strangeness. It was unimaginable yet it stirred his imagination. The imperfections it caused were wonderful. It made everything better whether for better or worse, because it made everything especially interesting. Right and wrong were merely design concepts, but as good and evil they became meaningful.

God wanted to meet the strangeness and speak to him. He wanted to see what it looked like and hear what it said. Alas, the strangeness was everything unto itself and did not see, hear or speak for to see, hear and speak were of God, not it. The strangeness was invisible, even to God, for God could only see it by its effect on things.

The Ancient of Days, the godhead, realized he could do away with the strangeness that disrupted everything. You “reap what you sow” in its influence. If God turned away from it, it would turn away from him.

The Ancient of Days loved the strangeness. He considered its effect on things to be a dance. He loved the dance. The Truth, the Word of God named it Freedom and Justice. God wanted Freedom to be the flow in his creation and Justice to be its balance. The strangeness would be the Lord of Spirits, the guiding principle.

The strangeness did not think or feel. The thoughts and feelings of God did not exist within the strangeness, thus, they meant nothing to the “entity” hoped would be the Lord of Spirits.

The Son of Man was invoked before the Lord of Spirits, and his name in the presence of the Ancient of Days. When Jesus was baptized, he was filled with the strangeness. It could now think and feel. All else followed.
