Notes on St. Paul & Losing Myself # 2


The Resurrection of the Spirit Cycle

My identity struggles with self make me more understanding of the struggles of others because at the core I realize how self-serving we all are.  As I move in and out of transformative states I find myself eager to serve because in it is the only real peace, love and joy.

Prayer - in the act of prayer man unites himself with God.  Prayer keeps God alive on Earth, and unifies people.  In prayer, I assume a humble posture.

We all carry the sentence of death, so that we are forced to trust not ourselves but God.  He will save us.

God lifts a person from despair, from the very gates of Hades.  When in despair, then restored, we complete the resurrection of the dead.
