Dialogue: Divide and Conquer

Student: What if the trumpet blows for everyone but individually..... Like at their time of death

Rabbi: It definitely does

Rabbi: But why not a violin playing?

Rabbi: Why must it be a trumpet?

Student: Beats me

Student: Maybe because a violin would lure the spirit to sleep

Rabbi: So you see?

Rabbi: It’s got to be symbolic

Rabbi: Not literal

Student: Hehe

Student: A trumpet was a sound of call

Student: So, the sound of the trumpet was and is a call home

Rabbi: Yea

Rabbi: A call

Student: Yup

Student: It's just beautiful

Student: The bible is so poetic n beautiful

Student: Only the Holy Spirit can reveal its depth to us

Rabbi: What is?

Rabbi: Yea

Student: Another thought

Student: I think the devil is clever

Student: He's currently using the rule of Divide and conquer

Rabbi: Explain

Student: Divide the Family..... Conquer the Church

Rabbi: I would say, twist the truth and conquer

Student: Have you noticed how Families are breaking up.... Rate of divorce is high, relationships breaking,

Student: How can a church stand if there's division in its smallest unit?

Rabbi: the devil is fighting not just the church

Rabbi: But the whole humanity

Rabbi: Yester night I decided to pray for the whole earth

Rabbi: it was deep and earnest

Student: Ye are the salt of the world

Rabbi: And I was attacked in the dream

Student: Destroy the salt.... Soup spoils

Rabbi: it was like my room was invaded

Rabbi: Humanity has an enemy

Student: Dang

Rabbi: One who will fight and fight

Student: Humanity has always had

Rabbi: Yea

Rabbi: And will never give up

Rabbi: The surest way to defeat humanity

Rabbi: Is to pervert the truth

Rabbi: And it is written

Student: You see my divide and conquer postulate

Rabbi: My people perish because of ignorance

Rabbi: and Christ said ye shall know the truth

And it shall set u free

Rabbi: That's why truth is fought

Student: Ruin families, split the church..... No salt to preserve the earth n the maggots creep in

Student: Yea..... Truth is under serious pummelling

Student: Every twist n turn has the truth under serious asphyxiation

Rabbi: We have gone all the way back to the very thing Jesus came to deliver us from; the law

Rabbi: Its now "the bible says"

Rabbi: Or

Rabbi: "The bible doesn't say"

Rabbi: Rules upon rules

Student: Yes

Rabbi: in the prophecy of Isaiah

Rabbi: God said: I will write my law upon their hearts

Rabbi: Jesus came to fulfil that

Rabbi: Love

Rabbi: With love, there is no law

Rabbi: in the words of Paul; "Against such, there is no law"

Rabbi: In people's hearts, no love

Rabbi: Do's and don'ts

Rabbi: Talk now, they'll scream and defend the law:

Rabbi: Just like the Pharisees

Rabbi: They call you a blasphemer

Student: True

Rabbi: But who was the greatest blasphemer in the bible? Rabbi: JESUS

Rabbi: He blasphemed so much

Rabbi: It got him killed

Rabbi: And anyway

Rabbi: Just look at the church

Rabbi: It’s obvious

Rabbi: We are missing something very fundamental

Rabbi: That's why

Student: Ride on

Rabbi: It has to be turned upside down

Rabbi: Completely revolutionized

Rabbi: By men who have grasped the true essence Of the Jesus gospel and the heart?

Student: I actually have found it funny how men, Christians are no different from the Pharisees

Dialogue: Love Finale

Shrink: You work in an office that has many beautiful girls. You are not a womanizer so you aren't really jumping into bed with them. You have worked for 3 months and then you begin to notice one girl. Not even among the top 5 cutest in the office but...there is something about her. 6 months, and you think if there are angels in existence, she must surely be one. 1 year you get married and you have no regrets. Question: why wasn't it any of the other girls you fell for?

Shrink: They are finer, sexier and not bad at all in character. But you fell for this particular one. Why?

    

Friend: The heart knows what it wants.... Where it finds comfort       

Shrink: Now that's deep

Shrink: But let's try to think about it

Shrink: Why?

Shrink: What are the possible factors?

Friend: That’s the funny thing about love.... It's not logic.... It's metaphysical

Shrink: Haha! Now you are funny! You are right though. Tell that to all the people who claim to be in love

Friend: There’s a part of us...we don't experience it every day.... It's like the CEO you don't see everyday..... It knows what it wants n when situations rise above the normal mind staffs.... It steps in

                Friend: How can there b so many beautiful houses in the city, but you experience great peace in your grandmother's hut

Shrink: Friend, have you met the love of your life?

Shrink: You sound like you have!

Shrink: because that example captured the feeling perfectly!

Friend: I know about love because I think a lot

Friend: I am currently single

Friend: I can love anyone I want

Friend: A friend of mine said it's like I have life figured out

Shrink: You sound like you do

Shrink: Well I have met the love of my life

Shrink: I have known for 4 years

Shrink: And the grandmother's hut description fits it exactly

Shrink: That's why I exclaimed!

Shrink: You spoke like a man with experience!

Friend: the thing is truthfully, the heart is more comfortable with simplicity than anything else

Friend: Working with children has opened up life to me..... I have understood the world through their eyes

Shrink: You impress me, Friend. But I wonder how far you can go. What can you do for love? (Agape)

Friend: I can point a gun at anyone who tries to hurt them

Friend: But I tend to b able to understand people

Friend: At that point I understand a person.... I tend to love them.... Normal love

Shrink: Apart from your life, can you give up everything you hold so dear, for love?

Friend: Only if the person is ready to do the same

Shrink: GOOD.

Shrink: You have landed exactly where I was hoping to take you to.

Shrink: You see, that's the difference between Eros and agape.

Friend: Did you just shrink me?

Friend: Jeez..... You're good

Shrink: Agape gives everything and wants nothing in return. While Eros gives everything and wants everything in return!

Shrink: Both are beautiful

Shrink: And true Eros always coexists with agape

                       

Friend: That’s why I said they work in tandem

Shrink: Agape is the foundation of Eros

              

Friend: I am ready to give everything expecting nothing..... But I like to have that foreknowledge the person would do the same

Shrink: And you were absolutely right

Shrink: Good

Shrink: That's true Eros

Shrink: But in agape, the mark is

Shrink: Give all, expect nothing

                   

Friend: Like God..... He has given us his all....but you need to seek him with all your heart to find him..... You must give your life, your entirety to him

                        Friend: Give all, expect nothing..... But know that the person would do the same..... Agape in Eros m Eros in Agape..... That's perfect Love.... N it's beautiful

Shrink: Yes we must give our hearts to him. But imagine someone who hasn't and doesn't want to. Does God still love him?

               Friend: Yes he does

Shrink: Good

Shrink: Now let's go to Jesus

              

Friend: Does that Love the person to heaven?

Shrink: Note a few things about the agape he taught

Shrink: One, love all. Unless, you are like the scribes and Pharisees. So you see, agape is not selective by nature. But Eros by nature is.

               Friend: My love n life are based on the principles of Christ's teaching

Shrink: Two, the Father like the sun shines down on good and evil. Again, not selective

               Friend: Now..... You are talking about general Love

Shrink: Three, give, Jesus said. And expect nothing in return.

               Friend: When it's general to all..... Agape is applied

Shrink: So agape EXPECTS nothing in return

               Friend: When it's to a particular person..... Agape n Eros work hand in hand

Shrink: You are correct

Friend: We my Brother are saying the same thing

Shrink: Yes we are

Friend: Okay

Friend: Whewww

Dialogue: Other view

.......continued from last post 

Friend: First.... People mistake Feelings for love

Friend: It’s not Love that is overrated.... It's feelings

Friend: Feelings is like that initial spark of a fire.... It burns bright n loud.... Passion is raw... A sense of adventure is born

Shrink: I need excessive details

Friend: Love is the second thing, you talked about..... The sustenance

Friend: To understand Love.... People need to have knowledge of God

Friend: While feelings bring, jealousy.... Love brings understanding

Friend: Feelings bring possessiveness..... Love brings acceptance

Friend: It’s like giving a child a new toy.... He's engrossed in it for the first few days until that initial spark dies and he goes back to that old constant toy

Friend: Feelings bring manipulation.... Love brings Sacrifice

Friend: Feelings is about what I stand to get..... Love is about sacrifice.... What the other person stands to gain

Shrink: You are absolutely right

Shrink: For me, that thing people call love, I no longer see as love

Shrink: I see it as child's play

Shrink: And when I said "love" is overrated

Shrink: I was referring to that "thing" that THEY call love

Shrink: Now I have experienced what you described

Shrink: But in my case its so deep

Shrink: That I fear

Shrink: That if this is the real love

Shrink: Then there is no love in this world

Friend: There is.... But our generation is a jet age.... Fast cars, fast foods, fast birth, fast death, fast love

Friend: Love is too deep to b fast.... Deeper than an ocean

Friend: That’s why the bible says, love is patient...... You must be patient to transit from feelings to Love

Shrink: Hmmmm

Shrink: The standard is very high

Shrink: The standard of both Eros and agape

Shrink: I believe one can only prove love 20years after marriage

Friend: Yup

Shrink: When you wake up and thank God that she is the one

Friend: Yea

Shrink: Every morning

Shrink: Till then, hard to tell

      Friend: Love is not ignoring the person's law, it's accepting it, understanding it n loving the flaw as much as the good side

Friend: I mirror what God does to me into the definition of love

Friend: He knows my flaws n frailties n he accepts me like that

Friend: I err continuously but he never gets tired of me

 Shrink: Hmmm. What's the difference between Eros and agape?

Friend: Eros is the romantic aspect of love

Friend: Agape is the brotherly.... Acceptability part of it

Friend: You need both for a relationship to work..... They work in tandem.... Two heads beta than one philosophy

Shrink: Making sense

Shrink: A question

Shrink: Can you have Eros for everybody?

Shrink: Or can one have

Shrink: Cos it’s not a personal question

Friend: Eros is a wide fire that needs taming

Friend: Man is adventurous

Friend: Explore new ground n all

Friend: But if Eros is tamed.... Centralized on just one individual..... Like a knife edge

Friend: You know the drill

Friend: Love is a Journey rather than a destination

to be continued.........
