When we encounter the world of ideas for the first time, we easily get overwhelmed. scripture is telling us, 'don't be distracted by the details. cut to the core by asking, what is its idol?' whatever functions as its god substitute will shape everything else.

When We Encounter The World Of Ideas

When we encounter the world of ideas for the first time, we easily get overwhelmed. scripture is telling us, 'don't be distracted by the details. cut to the core by asking, what is its idol?' whatever functions as its god substitute will shape everything else.

More From Nancy Pearcey

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl
Crush Commitment Fighting
In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. the substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.

So i should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, i’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. the core is the core is the core. there is always the core, that can’t be articulated. only caricatured.
Echoes Fog Self

For love of domination we must substitute equality; for love of victory we must substitute justice; for brutality we must substitute intelligence; for competition we must substitute cooperation. we must learn to think of the human race as one family.
Equality Thinking Race
To get at the core of god at his greatest, one must first get to the core of himself at his least, for no one can know god who has not first known himself. this core is a simple stillness, which is unmoved itself but by whose immobility all things are moved and all receive life.
