Wired to Win

This morning as I was catching up on posts to and from friends, along with my journey through Joshua, I long pondered the beauty of our bodies, and the advancement of our species.

Our physical vessels evidence of divine craftmanship for containment of unique and truly spiritual beings.

In Joshua's day, circumcision was precribed as a painful means of reminder of who we are as the people of God.

It seems something had happened to our species, and though circumcision had health benefits not then known, it would also serve to bring an awareness to the benefits of obedience to moral principles being prescribed for an apparent and most necessary transformation.

Familial structure had also been built into our design as means for walking our offspring forward, both male and female. Each paired and gifted accordingly for our species' advancement. Lesser species seemed comfortable in their ecologically balanced pattern, but humans seemed somehow out of step, even with each other. Somehow relatively disoriented?

Moses attempts to describe it in his Genesis as "The Fall". Perhaps an allegorical necessity for the reset that would need to occur. However, generations would be required for mankind's full understanding and recovery.

His next contribution would be capturing commandments, principles such that when followed would be rewarded by way of provision and protection.

Yet far beyond the immediate lives of those early tribesmen, this Mosaic Law would aid in establishing a trajectory toward a day when humans would better understand the original design and intent behind their creation.

The Mosaic Law would serve as a temporary schoolmaster until this species could come to fully appreciate our Creator, one who operates purely from a place of love, something we apparently failed to grasp early on.

At some point however, we human creatures by design would come back around to understand true righteousness, mercy and justice. All freely imputed, somehow sovereignly instilled within us. These virtues would eventually bring us into alignment with what the womb had already crafted for us but we somehow missed.

This would be a slow but sure progressive work of grace, a reorientation, yet would also most respectfully afford a personal choice for recovery from that mysterious and unfortunate "Fall".

Yet at just the right moment, "in the fullness of time" this Being that exists among the billions of galaxies that surround us, and just as his prophets had foretold, would choose to take on human form and dwell among us.

His Presence would then set off a global reform that certainly accelerated our advancement.

My suspect is we will never fully grasp what happened in those early days of man's spiritual evolution, but by grace we do now have remedy for full recovery.

As well, now that eons have passed, our life experiences when guided by such sovereignly inspired text as those mentioned above, along with progressive ideation, all systematically provided for our advancement, we have come a long way.

Enlightened over time, humanity's "aHa's" come more readily and more rapidly now. All quite glorious as we better understand our physical being.

Example: our three brains!

That's right, We have three brains:

Gut, Heart and Head

Our spirits are sequentially and physically wired early on in the womb for a life of value-ad to others.

First our gut, most savvy and quick to discern, best directs our lives, if in sync with the heart.

The heart, which holds our values, always checking the gut by way of lessons learned, never to be violated, though always enhanced by way of risks taken.

The 3rd brain sits between our ears, gathering information, stored among the synapses of its left and right hemispheres, wrestling us through any necessary risk management.

In the end, if one can manage the risk without violating values, the sooner executed the better.

Lessons from a now mature science teacher!
