"Life is Vortex, Not Just Rotation" Part 2

The same user made a follow-up video. It's equally fascinating.

"Life is Vortex, Not Just Rotation"

To say my mind is blown is an understatement. After writing that blogpost last night with that quote, someone pointed out to me how the planets spiral around our Sun throughout the Galaxy. I can honestly say, I didn't know that. But it's awesome. Here is a short video to demonstrate.
Symbols truly are in everything!

Eternal Perspective; Big Picture

This is an excerpt from the Q&A I linked to a couple of days ago.  I find this grand perspective on life enlightening, refreshing, and thought provoking.

"For me there has been repeated reminders that the Lord's path is straight, and does not vary from side to side, nor is there any degree of changeablness for Him.

BUT His "course" (that is the pathway we find ourselves on) is "one eternal round." Meaning we are in orbit, so to speak, around Him and His pathway. For us we move in an upward spiral sometimes facing in one direction and sometimes turned around in the opposite direction as we move upward along His path. We are here to be "added upon" and sometimes that process is so incremental, so slight, and so apparently limited that we can live a lifetime and only move a single step forward toward God. But for God, who is infinite and eternal, that fulfills His promise and even His expectations for most of mankind.

We are here to experience the difference between light and dark, good and bad, and gain knowledge of good and evil. If a man lives without God in the world and his days are few and mean, he may nevertheless rejoice in eternity for what he gained by experience here. Even the abuse inflicted upon us can turn to God's glory if we return to Him better able to know the difference between good and evil.

The Gospel plan is infinite and holds out promise for every man and woman who ever lived and died. How great a step we gain in the few years of mortality allotted to us is not as important as the experience from which we are better able to discern between good and evil.

I have little hope for Zion, because that will require pure hearts, penitent and submissive men and women, and faith in Christ as a principal of action. But I have great hope for mankind. If all men's deeds were illuminated by the light of Christ we could all tell what errors we are making and return to the truth. That day will come. But here, in this darkened world, we are gaining experience."

It reminds me of a blogpost I wrote a long time ago on the symbolism of spirals.  

Keeping the Commandments

This is a short blogpost from a friend, who has a way of cutting right down to the sayings of Jesus. It's the kind of thing that makes me really pause, and take inventory on my life, and claimed "discipleship" of Jesus.  

With that in mind, I'd now recommend this short post. (To prevent all types of mischief.)

A Q&A with "Jesef" and Denver Snuffer

I found this a worthwhile read.
