(Gen 2:25 KJV) And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
In truth… there is no shame…. shame comes from delusion and deception (sin).
The human mind, in delusion is the most dangerous of things because it is bent and no longer aligned with reality. This causes humanity to behave in deviant ways and encourage other things to follow this deviant pattern.
By reality, I am not talking about what has become the accepted normality, for ‘normality’ is a human measure of acceptable deviancy…
A ‘duck’ that looks like a swan and behaves like a swan is a ‘swan’. A swan without self consciousness is unlikely to ever ‘think’ it is a duck… despite what story books may tell you… this is the nature of delusion and fiction. It is a virtual reality in the mind that overpowers the truth of our reality…. Hindus term this ‘Maya’ and Muslims ‘the veil’.
God’s reality is the same as God’s will or word, but the written word is not the same as God’s reality. It is symbolic. Adam and Eve only became ashamed of their nakedness when they broke faith with God’s reality (the truth) heeding in doubt, other words that had been sown in their mind. This is the nature of delusion… doubting this reality, then believing, trusting and living in and out of an alternate virtual reality.
Delusion blinds us to wrongful behaviour and even encourages us to applaud such…. Delusion is like a virus, it spreads through human minds quicker than influenza from a passing sneeze.
The classic example of delusion is ‘Adolf Hitler’ a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur… through believing, trusting and living in and out of his delusion many considered his ‘thinking’ a good “way out” of their troubles and so they embraced his delusion and committed despicable acts without conscience…
The little Nazi is just one tip of one delusional iceberg, the history of suffering humanity is littered with delusional people with supposedly ‘good’ ideas that other gullible people have followed blindly…..
And what of you dear reader, just how deluded is your mind… are you a human being as God made you to be, or are you a human being deluded into thinking you’re ‘something’ else, by the ways of the world and all the other influences around you?
In our virtual mindset we can be led and lead ourselves into all manner of delusional identities…so who do you think you are? And just who are you?????….. Seriously…
You are your father who sent you on your way as that tiny sperm, that embraced that tiny egg of your mother, to become that developing embryo, that grew to become that pure naked baby without shame, much loved by life over a period of nine months and then you entered this world and remained in innocence for only a few days, before you were infected with delusion and reality was lost, or more correctly you became lost to reality.
(Luke 12:29-31 KJV) And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
