Txt2mate: How are you going?
TxtFromMate: I'm going well just doing continuous maintenance while still discovering me.
FromTextBack:
Hmmm. Yes, there are maintenance (& development) disciplines.
It seems to me (from Gen 1-5, and the rest of the bible, especially the New Testament) that there seems to be two completely different "Me"s; with two different ancestries, and two different futures.
And this life is a "choose your own adventure" set up:
We can choose the kind of human (son of Adam) to be,
and the kind of future to inherit.
There's
Cain, the first "son of Adam",
or
Yeshua, the last "son of Adam".
And there's
all the mechanisms and processes of this world that we can father, or pioneer, or help bring about (e.g. cities, mining, music making, animal herding, etc), with a "Me" that is defined by what we have fathered in terms of these achievements in this world that is "passing",
or there is
the seemingly insignificant option of fathering new baby humans, that we can spend time with and become a true father of - not as a self-serving project, but as a chance to give our life to others to set them free, to be all that they were meant to be.. - & in that process of passing on to others, we are given a real permanent self (or "Me") to be(come) ourselves, in the creator God's new creation.
