Salt and Light

 This essay is about the Sermon of the Mount on Mat 5:13-16 .  Also Zen mind, Beginners mind, at 1:59:50 The Hanshakukyo bridge and giving half the water back. Christians talk a lot about salt and light, because we see ourselves as those characters. But then lord Jesus Christ was talking about those qualities, He wasn't necessarily talking to Jews nor to Christians, but all the people. If you listen and preach things from an established point of view, your cup is full. Just like a King, who drank from the holy relics of the temple and saw the writing on the wall, couldn't prevail, because he was performing from an assumption, there he was winning. Then you follow lord Jesus Christ, you are not winning -- you give up the sword in your hand, for: "He, who draws the sword, dies by the sword!!" Equal action of dogmatism and eulogism will reach you, if you convert and Gospel that way. Eventually you will reach a point in the road, which could be expressed as the sonic wall. You are not moving fast enough, thus your actions are destroying you! Either start moving slower and stop, or start moving faster and break through... If you move from an established point of view, your Holy City will remain unfound. Because your beliefs will make it unavailable to all those, who cannot agree with you. If you want lord Jesus Christ to be available to All, you must go out of your box and relate, just like He did before you. Talk to the Satanist; the Jehovah's Witness; the Prostitute; the Buddhist etc. If you only talk to your own kind, your light is still under the basket. Your salt is still in the jar, and doesn't get out. Why is your faith any worth, if you only relate to yourself or your own kind? True faith and enlightenment is relied, if you risk your very soul and integrity, to get your job done!! Your good works are not those works, what will glorify You, but what will glorify lord Jesus Christ! If a door to door salesman wants to glorify himself, he glorifies his merchandice, he is selling, and becomes invisible by himself, and his CEO will notice in the sales numbers; reward him in silence, not in public. That is the reason, so many Christians fail, because you want glory in the public, not in silence!! How did your salt and light reward the people, and made them glorify lord Jesus Christ? Halleluyah
