The Serenity of Life !
- Albey Dixon
Before venturing into the depths of serenity of life, we need to know what is serene. The Google defines serene as “calm, peaceful, and untroubled; tranquil.” Sometimes even when circumstances are peaceful, we are not peaceful. So, does it indirectly imply that peace is unobtainable externally, but something which births on the inside. What in us is involved with this piece of peace? Is it the heart, the brain or er...something else? Technically speaking, the heart is involved with pumping of blood to and from different organs of the body and the brain with perceptions, signals and somatosensory evoked responses within the body.
But, from a moral point of view, the heart’s involvement is reckoned to believing, learning, and a center of convictions whereas the mind/brain is involved in reasoning, understanding, and a center of decision making based upon convictions received through understanding.
Serenity is not tangible yet it can be though it is perceivable and transferrrable to our five senses. Who has this kind of peace that surpasses every understanding? Generally speaking, the peace within us is most often understandable and describable and so there is a direct and equal proportion of rapport between the mind and the heart, morally speaking thereof. But, this kind of peace is decipherable by almost every human being on earth and yet NOT the Excellence, NOT the Divine !!
Sages and saints through ages have sought this kind of Divine peace and some, if not all, have been overcome by it. God is Spirit and we ought to know Him through a spirit realm which some have termed as “soul.” Thought it is unfathomable for the human brain to comprehend, Man is a tripartite being, comprised of a spirit, a soul and a body and as the body is segregated into bones, blood and flesh, so is the soul composed of emotions, will and mind.
God has a Standard and His Standard is His Word !!
The Word took the form of human flesh, so that man could comprehend the unfathomable riches of God’s treasures through his shallow mind. The Word who took on Divine Flesh called Himself “Son of Man.” This Word became the Divine Peace of man. Now, it is a man’s responsibility to accept or deny “This Peace (Word of God)” which transcends every human understanding into one’s heart. Since the Word proceeded from God, God can be termed as “Father” and the Seed of the Father who proceeded from Him be termed the “Son.” So in short, the Peace of God who is the Word of God can be called “The Son of God, the Father !”
History proves that a “Divine Man” rose from the dead leaving no mortal remains or trace of death on earth,
and He is none other than----- Yes, you guessed it right !! -----JESUS !!!
Shalom to you all !
