to continue on the theme of being saved and a savior…
to be saved or to have a savior implies going from doubt and uncertainty
and chaos to certainty, security, safety…
to say, “I am saved” is to suggest I have certainty about my fate…
yet there is no certainty, no security amidst the chaos and randomness that
is life… and that is what being saved is, being saved from… being saved from
uncertainty and chaos and randomness
one is dancing on the abyss and by believing one is saved, the abyss no longer
becomes a danger… you no longer believe you are in danger by being saved…
the fear of the future is decreased and that fear of falling into the abyss is lessen…
but the whole point of dancing next to the abyss is the possible fate of falling
into the abyss… the uncertainty, the doubt, the fear of dancing next to the abyss
leads one to no longer taking life for granted, to accept the certainty in life along
with the uncertainty of life…it is not longer either/or… it could be both and at
the same moment…
to be certain is to be no longer by challenged by life
to have all doubts removed…to be certain is to be safe and secure
when in fact, we must have doubt and uncertainty to grow and become something
greater then what we are…
doubt is growth, certainty is satisfaction with the statue quo…
