I went outside to the small trail I have behind the house to do my prayer time. This session I was going to contemplate a some posts and replies about a 6th sense we seem to have. So the question is, "How does God communicate/interact with us." I had walked a few minutes when I stopped to ponder. God said unto me, "Pour out your coffee." Now I really, really like my morning coffee, and this was an especially good cup. So of course I did not want to pour out my coffee. I thought to myself, "That does not answer any questions. What good will pouring out my coffee do? Maybe I am not hearing correctly." He talks to me in more of a suggestion(s) than like "Hello RV, How are you this morning?" So I followed the suggestion and poured the second half of my coffee upon the leaves. So now I pondered this, "What was that all about?" (The following analogies might be really off do to lack of knowledge of the subject matter.) What does a soldier give up went fighting for freedom? Freedom. An extremely, highly trained Special Forces squad member is at the top of his game, and will step in front of a bullet without hesitation. God told Jesus to get nailed to a cross. Jesus said, "Bring on the spikes." There was no one closer to God but God gave his only begotten son. In the Muslim religion there are three beings; angel, man, and jinn. Two of those have free will; human and jinn. The angel does not have free will. The angel does as God wishes. For us to be closer to God we trade some of our free will for God's wisdom. Most jinn are considered evil, although not all. Jinn have great free will. So in a way the profession closest to God is the mathematician. Math is the language with which we understand the world God gave us. Mathematicians give up some of their free will to understand God, 2 + 2 = 4, take it on faith. This is not to say God does not think the arts are lowly professions, quite the contrary. Free will expressed in the highest order could never please God more. It is when we take free will and listen to the jinn. Art which is baseless and crude is not to God's liking, the jinn eat it up though. And to use math knowingly in a way to deceive is a sin. To give credit to God when we get inspiration from Him is one of the hardest things to do. We want to believe we are on top of our game, we are "in the zone" but God talks to us the most in those times and to praise Him is to know him.
