In a theoretical approach, knowledge seems to be of no practical interest, since even with the few things I know I can manage in my life. But if we look for the real dimensions of knowledge in our everyday life then it turns out that no one can live without knowledge.
And not only that; The better one knows something, the better they can manage it, whether it concerns people’s relationships or technical skills, or a more general knowledge and perception of things. There is innate knowledge and abilities, but there is also acquired knowledge and abilities and these are not only more in number but also more essential for our practical life.
The innate knowledge and momentum has been placed by the Creator within us, without our own personal involvement. However, the acquired knowledge, that with which we manage our everyday matters, is our personal affair and the acquisition and cultivation of it depends to a great extent on our individual effort.
Because knowledge leads to awareness and awareness leads to the understanding and effectiveness of my actions.
The Perfection
Perfection is the dream of every human being. For life, for beauty, for profession, for everything, the goal is perfection, and to achieve it we spend time, money, activity. But for every case there are analogies about what perfection is.
What it actually means, however, is something that has a beginning and an ending and it does not conceal a vanishing intent in the blank or the unknown. Perfect is what has a beginning, a duration, but it also has a brilliant end, and that’s what we all appreciate as perfection. And because there is no perfect thing on earth, as we all know from our personal experience, it is obvious that what we all seek is the path to perfection; a path that brings the best result in all areas of our everyday life.
And that’s what Christ promised to people; the path to perfection, the way to the best result, the knowledge and the personal experience that leads from little to a lot and from good to better and to maturity, elements that form the trunk of all our efforts.
The renewal
Renewing means bringing something new, doing something new, transforming the old into new. I may keep some of the past, some things may seem to be the same, but in essence everything is new every day. Every morning nature appears new, renewed. No moment is the same as a previous one. And that’s the great secret of the Great Creator. He does not repeat Himself, He does not lack new inspiration, His sources are not steadfast, and He is not tired of doing new things every day.
And this truth, which does not need any more analyzing, is the mirror of our personal life. The weary man is far from the waters of renewal, the wounded man lacks the gift of forgiveness, the humiliated man cannot see far because someone has stolen this divine gift; the gift of imitating their Creator, seeking the living relationship with a living god, to see the world with new eyes every day, to ask for their visions to become reality.
The choice
Choosing as a process is a basic tool of our everyday life. We choose a mate, choose clothes, choose a destination for our holiday, choose a job, and we can continue to record endless lists of topics for which we have the exclusive responsibility of choice.
The basic parameter of my choices is always the possibilities offered, i.e. how many options I have, in order to choose the one that suits my need. If, as we say, my choice is one-way because I have no choice, then my responsibility is limited to denying or accepting the opportunity offered. But in life this rarely happens.
As a rule we have many choices and what we choose is what we want, what we judge to be of interest to us and therefore our best choice. So if my choices are crucial for my day-to-day decisions, it is obvious that in the case of greater choices, especially those concerning my future, they are also of great importance and determine the developments in my life.
That is why the Apostle Paul recommends to those who seek the living relationship with the living god not to choose the mediocre choices but to choose the best and the greatest, the most essential and not the humble, the productive choices and not the ones who will hide the talent in a place for safekeeping.
The vision
Although the verb “see” says that I see with my natural eyes, hence the “sight”, in the case of the word “vision”, the meaning is different and it states something distant, out of sight with the natural eyes but visible only with the eyes of the soul.
Maybe in modern society with the absolute technocratic perceptions and priorities, the role of the soul and the invisible world is not a real priority of people and an institution of daily employment, but it is commonly accepted that all people have expectations, hopes, visions for a new life; A better life.
It is clear that this hope keeps a person moving forward, that these visions are the locomotive behind tomorrow’s discoveries, that the vision shapes and transforms all the designs of all people of all time, and that the vision brings the best possible tomorrow and removes the negative experiences of yesterday.
One would even dare to consider vision as the main tool and asset of our life after life itself, since the well-being not only expresses interest in creativity, but is to a large extent a component of our very existence and, therefore, the better we know how to manage our visions, the better and more creatively we enjoy our lives.
