History must always be preserved, no matter how hideous or beautiful. The problem with the world today is that history has been written and edited by the victors of our history. It is in absolutely no way shape or form acceptable to destroy any part of history, especially art. Without art, we would not have the wisdom behind the very foundation of what makes us human.Yet because this rule has not been followed to the letter in our past, our past is hereby convoluted beyond repair. Buckle up...
Take for example all of the different translations of the Christian Bible (NIV, ESV, and so on.) Then you have the other forms of translation for each different language that it's been printed in. Then you have human history again, more often than not mucking up the process of Godliness that we are called upon for (The Church of Rome and England, the denominations, people such as the first American settlers etc) Then you have the many cultures that our faith has been spread and mixed in with(native American, and the natives of the world that were once not Christian). Lost yet? Then you have the media, which in all of its corruption, disseminates information in ways that are strictly for profit and popularity. These media giants are often manipulated by the government which is manipulated by big businesses and so on. ALL OF THIS is not even the complete strategy currently used by Hell to lure people away from God. It isn't just our Faith affected, but the entire spectrum of human ideals and free will. It's all of history, owned and operated by the writers and editors that have won the various struggles on human conquest, for better or worse. I have called this, my current theory, "Adversity's Stratagem for the Masses".
As far as art goes...an image is an endless amount of different words, all related and piling into one image. That image is then perceived by the eyes of any and all whom are privileged with seeing it. For example, one might see the Creation of Adam, in the Cistine Chapel to literally be a rendition of God creating man through a touch of life. However, many speculate that the image of God Himself, carried by the angels on His throne, is symbolic for the true origins of the human mind, as that image takes similar shape to the human brain.
Yet when i use the word 'art', please do not misunderstand me. I don't just mean pretty pictures and statues. I mean quite literally everything in existence. Art is simply the part of something that is beautiful in some way or another, and there is beauty is everything in this universe. It is a matter of that mysterious, terrifying, incredible and miraculous thing we know as perception. You can choose to see the world for its many faults just as you can choose to see it for all its beauty. It's quite funny how just about everything comes down to free will. Choice, as it were, to pick and choose according to our chosen perspective in order to develop a chosen perception. A narrow mind is the cause of a bleak outlook, thus I say that ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is yet another tool of the trade that is Hells stratagem. They want closed minds, blind eyes, spineless bodies and a world of soulless naivety. That is why that blackline as much of the endless pages of our history that they can, and make for lies in the places of truth. It can take time (seconds or centuries), one person with a talented devil on their shoulder, and one ear that consumes ideas and spreads them like a plague to the masses.
Illusion, confusion, ignorance. They are experts but not masters. Such would imply omnipotence, and if I have said otherwise in the past, then I correct myself here and now. Hell, our enemy, is not some hot place of fire and sulfur beneath our feet. It is a place that transcends time and space, where our enemy resides in bitter patience. God is with us for the following reasons among the endless: to guide us through this struggle. He will not hold your hand or do it for you however. It is tasked to you and you alone to live a life of true godliness. It is upon you, in your limited time here in the middle of an eternal war, to use your gift of free will to love rather than to hate. To forgive rather than to judge. To have faith rather than to doubt.
That is why when I speak of the importance of art and history, we must learn to appreciate what we have, learn from it as best we can, and realize that everything is somehow related, whether we understand it or not. No matter how hideous or how beautiful, our footprints in time must never be taken for granted. We must see the relationship between history and art, as one footprint and another. An image can toss into ones mind, a thousand words, which become ideas which ultimately become actions that are left as more of our past. Time and all of its stories, in a simple form, are broken down to choice. I only recommend that we choose wisely.

An Explanation for my Absence
Hello Everyone!
I feel the need to explain why I've not been active on here. Well I've been really busy with my job and school. On top of that, I've been battling a lot of personal demons. I've been writing all the while, but posting hasn't really crossed my mind all that much. I'll also say that this summer will also be quite the ride, but a much less bumpy one. I'll be working at my normal job, taking 2 classes, and I'll be working at an internship as well. I'm gonna try and post in my free time, but I can't guarantee much.
Thank you and God bless!

How to see with Closed Eyes (Pt.2)
How I've come to see things is one of the reasons I take such a high liking to story telling in the media, and to explain, I don't mean the corrupted muckraking system by which the information of day to day civilization is so rigidly disseminated (The News), but I mean entertainment! Video games, Cinema, literature, music, and so on and so forth. These wonderful, fantastic inventions granted to us by God given ability hold the potential to create glorious tales of varied genres. It's the good ones that make you think from another perspective than your own, and do so with an open mind do to a story that was told to your liking rather than mere
How to see with Closed Eyes (Pt.1)
Whosoever enfeebles the purpose of the phrase 'things could be worse', does not hold an understanding of the misfortunes of existence. They are likely experiencing a first test of sorts, or are simply unfamiliar, or ignorant to the stories behind the darker reaches of life on earth. Yet even then, in the absence of understanding, eyes are eyes that can used to chose a perception of whatever it is they see. Should things ever escalate to the hypothetical result of the current meaning of when people say the phrase 'things could be worse', then less and less people will use the phrase as the world around them becomes more and more bleak. I have
From Scratches on the Oldest Drawing Board
Consider this a more detailed version of my other pieces, 'Genesis 1:1-31' and 'Wisdom and Intellect', concerning the ideas and theories behind the origin of the universe. I very much enjoy writing on the subject that God is so much more than many understand Him to be. It's both a way for me to help others understand God (as I see Him, these are just my opinions based on my studies and experience) as well as a way to praise Him and His glory. Here are some links for those who may be unfamiliar with a few things I intend to cover in this exhortation.

I think it means a sign of wisdom is humility. In addition it is ignorant and prideful to believe that one can know everything or man can achieve this. This doesn't make life tragic, for if one were to consider it the means of worthlessness, it is only in the presupposition that man's worth is only in his ability to attain a totality of knowledge.
It even can be, and has been, suggested if one does suppose man, given enough time to find the true explanation of things, it cannot be determined as being a totality unless there is a surpassing knowledge. Simply, if you had all the knowledge, could you know it was complete? Its debatable, (pluralism being the affirmative and monism being the negation) but isn't thought in reality to ever be the case, because if one given as much time as needed to acquire all knowledge we will at the same time misplace or forget knowledge.
Man will be always ignorant of one subject or another, either on an individual level or in a social. A singularity or a group. That we still search for answers to questions suggests despite our knowledge and wisdom, we have yet to come close to finding it. Difficulty in decision doesn't negate free will. Also, broad circumstance doesn't negate narrow free will. You may have a terrible professor, but you always have the difficult choice of dropping the class or sucking it up. You may be born in a particular local to a particular family, but that doesn't mean you don't have free will within or under the broader circumstance.
Ignorance, incompetence and wisdom are all things which can be held relative to each individual. Much like being rude. I don't know a single person who would say that ignorance should not be overcame, and being the case it follows that it must exist in the world. If it does exist in the world, then from this we can deduce that a complete non-ignorance has not been achieved. If there is ignorance and fallacy in and with many a thing in which this ignorance is apparent, then one cannot achieve non-ignorance from ignorance, anymore than what is false necessarily leads to what is true.

Brandon
