I know why you’re reading this

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

Paul the Apostle: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Morpheus: You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

I know why you’re reading this. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something, on the tip of your mind, just out of reach. You know if you could reach it, remember it, see it, suddenly all the pieces would fall into place. Not only would life begin to make sense, but all the things that seem to be missing would arrive. You look aroundand long for something; you are not even sure what it is. If you turn off the electronic stimulus long enough your awareness grows. Something is just not as it should be. Why can’t we fix it? Worse, why can’t we see it?

Adam and Eve could see what we cannot. The natural world and the spiritual world together. We are flying blind. But not as blind as we fear. The world we cannot see, the world intertwined with our daily life is not entirely invisible. It is simply “visible” (perceivable) through a different channel of input. The visible world is full of distraction. Focus. Not your eyes, not even the ears you are thinking of. Use your eyes that see. Tune in your ears that hear. You sense it… stop, still your heart, focus, and tune in.

What if you could see the hearts of men? What if God were communicating about a set of events yet to transpire? What if the real meaning of the moment you’re in were being broadcast on AM and you had the FM tuned in? Slow down. Ask the question at the most unlikely times, “God where are you now, what are you saying now?” Don’t just ask during your quiet time, ask during the argument. Ask in the middle of the businees deal. Ask at the electronics store.

I know why you are reading this… a part of you longs for something more than you have. What if you have it, but you didn’t realize it. What if the thing you are most hungering for is in the room with you, but you are using the wrong senses to search.

Think differently.
