79. The High-Flying Eagle

birds-eagle-62655

A flying eagle sees the world below clearly with sharp long-distance vision. If we see the world through the lofty Divine perspective of the Way, we will view our history, society, culture, and fellow human beings with clarity. We will see reality as it truly is, not as it is thought or imagined to be based on the observation of the fallen world, rational reflection, and creative speculation.

Our society is full of different ideologies, philosophies, religions, and political notions. We offer the world a different, other-worldly perspective. Instead of advocating another set of human opinions, we present the universal Truth revealed by the Most High God, the Uncreated One Himself. 

Keep working to further clarify your own vision through the humility, prayer, and repentance that invites the purifying Grace to work within your heart. Also, as a member of the Church, do your part to bring others into the eye-opening experience of the Way.
