Genesis 1:2 (Anotjer take on the verse)


 “Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn The Way, then find your own way.“

Basically it means don’t be too attached to any one form of labels. Learn from it. Learn everything you can from them. Then be yourself and do your own way. Form your own art. Not for anyone else but for yourself. 

Same with religion, race or language or anything. Learn from it all then blend it to form something unique. 

Even the above quote is not original at least the essence of it is not original it has been said in Genesis 1:2. Just that the church interprets it funny. In recent times before Forbidden Kingdom and the character played by Jet Li, a more popular martial artist that sensationalise the world said it, Bruce Lee, who in a real sense transcended race, religion and even the martial arts world itself. He transcended. 



But here is the thing we can be so captivated by the quote itself, by who said what, whether Bruce or jet or Jacky, and we can analyse the minute nuances and make a thesis out of it; the thing is they have understood the SAME essence and make it their own and say it in their own way. Now , you say it in your own way…..and to put it another way which you will understand ….so that we can have peace, make love and not war …..

To find out you don’t fit into your own family. He tried but he reach a point whereby he couldn’t do it anymore. He wasn’t true to himself. In a way he was living a lie, ok maybe a lie is too strong a word. He was living an illusion only to wake up and realise he isn’t meant to be there. And it takes an Afro Hollywood American Actress (basically everything he is not) who maybe also in that shoe as well to wake him up, gave him the strength to be by himself and with himself and be himself. And what she saw in his life reflects hers in a very different context but the essence is the same. Wrong time wrong place wrong person wrong family. It’s not so much she took him away but by being with her awaken a courage that’s always b

 In the spiritual realm. Jesus was operating in a high level of spiritual consciousness. He was exercising full authority in the spirit. In the spirit, he was before Abraham. Ok which point in time before Abraham then ? Right at the beginning. Right at the Origin of Things. Or even the Originator of things itself. As a Jew, as a rabbi as a citizen he has no authority but in the spirit representative  of the Divine he is who he is .
