Things That Are Hard To Believe
It's hard to believe that death in this world is actually a one-way turnstile through which all living things must pass.  It's hard to believe that death and life are two sides of the same coin that Father-God Himself struck and issued as a one-of-a-kind Person in His Christ-manifestation,  Jesus of Nazareth.

It's hard to believe that one supreme Person could actually hold and command the absolute powers of life and death all by Himself.  It's hard to believe that this supreme Person would disguise Himself as an unassuming character.  It's hard to believe that this supreme Person would allow Himself to be roughly handled, bitterly humiliated, and summarily executed like a common criminal.

It's hard to believe that the living, almighty God of heaven and earth, incarnate as the Christ Jesus of Nazareth would allow His perfect innocence to be tried and convicted by the imperfect justice of weak human creatures.  It's hard to believe that when Jesus of Nazareth accused "this evil generation" of its evilness, He was referring to every individual of the entire progeny of the whole human species ever to spurt from loins and squirm from wombs from the beginning of time to the present hour.

It's hard to believe that the fervent devotions practiced by the adherents and devotees of every "religion" on planet Earth are a part of the clever disguise that makes a great lot of "nothing" appear to be "something."  It's hard to believe to-day was never meant to last forever.  It's hard to believe to-day is a standard of measurement that God Himself assigned to this Dominion (the earth) of His eternal kingdom.  It's a little easier to believe but not by much that a great deal of modern "christianity" is as much "nothing" as all the rest of it.

It's hard to believe that evil prince Lucifer a.k.a. "Satan" is "the prince of this world."  It's hard to believe that the evil dominance of prince Lucifer corrupts the content of every present Moment.  It's hard to believe the appearances of pure Good and pure Evil appear to many people as nothing more than moral and ethical equivocations of "higher animal" behaviour.

Every so often some things must be told.  There is pain and death and hope and life in their telling.  Such a telling fills a living Soul with a certain kind of light that in this present world reveals a certain kind of darkness.  And it's hard to believe that one's own destiny can be there in that light or there in that darkness.  It's hardest of all to believe that the choice of one's destiny can be so easily made and it's tale so easily told.  Sure now, it's hard to believe any of it, but it's all true.  All of it.
