A Dream
Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever shall be, world without end, amen. A silent prayer has been offered to God. That prayer translated into words says this, “Impart to me Understanding, Knowledge, and Wisdom, so I may share them to my brethren.” I seek the Divine Mind, but no, I understand now, that I must seek the Divine Essence, that is Infinite Existence. A grace flows through my body, and in my mental image is the vision of Christ as Saint John the Apostle witnessed Him, as recorded in the Apocalypse of Saint John. He smiles to me, as a spiritual light shone from Him and the Beauty of the Trinity is shown as much as I can witness in my mind. Then, I see it again, the Divine Essence. He brings me to tears.
It is as if I seek a
new revelation, within Christ, yet I seek some novel revelation from Him. However,
that is not the truth. I simply desire to have the same revelation received by
the apostles revealed to me as well in fullness. What is the Lord telling me?
He is telling me that I have that revelation already, in my soul, in my very
existence. So I should stop looking, and begin to write, write, and write what
I already have in my soul. That Revelation has existed in me since I am baptized,
since I receive the Eucharist, since I am confirmed, since I repented. For if
the Holy Spirit is in me, then God is truly in me, and so I simply have to let
Him work in me and through me for the goodness of others.
I must empty myself and
let God fill me with His Spirit. Then I must trust Him and what He says to me
in my being. The heart of the Church, the head of the Church, that is Christ, I
must see what He says, for He is in me, so I can trust myself as the channel of
Christ for myself and for others. I have given up the world and surrendered
myself to Christ. As such, as Saint Paul said in a mystical statement, Galatians
2:20, “And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And
that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved
me, and delivered himself for me.”
I must now live as Christ wills me to live. I must be renewed. I must be holy,
set apart for Christ and Christ alone.
Sometimes we are
called to humility. It is humility to attribute all goodness to God, and all
evil to ourselves and the world and the evil ones. Therefore, the exposition of
all goodness that has been given to me by God is not pride, as long as I make
it clear that I am not even the author of my own goodness. All good things I
possess are of God and belong to God. There are those who would reveal their
goodness as pertaining to themselves, but I dare say that they are wrong. All
goodness only comes from God. What is our role then? Our role is in saying “Yes”
to God, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary said to God her entire life. Our role
is simply consenting and cooperating with God and all the goodness that He has
granted us.
Let us now begin with
a primary discussion. There are 2 levels of revelation, natural and
supernatural revelation. Natural revelation is anything God reveals to us by
the natural world, that can be done through natural reason and natural
perception of the natural world. Supernatural revelation is anything God
reveals to us beyond what natural reason and perception of the world can reveal
to us. However, it still uses reason, but it is supernatural reason with
supernatural perception of the supernatural realities that is pertaining to God
and heaven.
Philosophy or some
would call it natural theology belongs to the domain of natural revelation. Theology
or some would call it revealed theology belongs to the domain of supernatural
revelation. However, it can be difficult to distinguish between the 2 kinds of
revelation. For both are revelations by God, about God, in order to lead us
into God. They both have the same purpose, otherwise God will not reveal either
to us. All fields of study are actually theology, when rightly ordered, they
all point to God and help us to live better according to God’s Will. When in
disorder, they all become chaotically contradictory to each other and lose
their original theological nature.
So I receive this
vision from God, not an image, but a dream of sorts. My role is to explore the
realms of natural revelation, that is of philosophy, and marry it back to supernatural
revelation, that is of theology. Supernatural revelation by God has been given
to us in the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church which is headed by the Bishop
of Rome, and preserved perfectly in 2 modes of transmission, Sacred Scripture
and Sacred Tradition. However, the full understanding of that Revelation is to
be done by translating it into terms of Natural Revelation or Philosophy.
Therefore, I am not
here to receive any new Supernatural Revelation, Public Revelation ended with
the death of the last apostle that is Saint John. The Deposit of Faith is
complete, but what is needed is a clearer understanding of that Deposit of
Faith to make it more explicit and to make it more understood by the people. My
role is simply by following the motions of grace that God has given me and
connecting that Supernatural Revelation with Natural Revelation. When
Revelation is completely united into a clear complete understanding, then all
sciences can then be regathered as a single flock under Theology, and be
utilized fully for the salvation of souls and thus the glory of God.
You may tell me, “You
are prideful for thinking that you can accomplish this on your own.” Yet I
chastise you, I do not accomplish this on my own. I accomplish this on the
power that God has given me. It is the Work of God, not my work. Now, how may
this be done? This is done through an investigation into Natural Revelation,
then an elaboration of Supernatural Revelation through Natural Revelation, and
finally the union into simply Divine Revelation. What happens after the
fulfillment of Divine Revelation?
The answer is clear,
the propagation of Understanding, Wisdom, and Knowledge to the Church and to
all nations of the earth. For when the Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom of
the Church is complete, then the Church will possess all means to conquer the
nations through Faith, Hope, and Charity. Under the single banner of the
Catholic Church, the world shall know true peace, true prosperity, true
justice, true love, true goodness, and all things in between. All of human
knowledge will be oriented towards God and be utilized to make more manifest
the Kingdom of God on earth.
For that reason, I
shall conduct a philosophical investigation into various matters as God directs
me. Then, I will return to Church teachings, which are precisely the teachings
of God. With philosophy, I shall attempt to bring into explicit understanding
the significance and meaning of all of God’s teachings. I do not know if I will
finish this Holy Work in my lifetime, or will there be successors to my attempt,
but all I know is I am will let God work through my filthy hands, writing for
you and for everyone else. That is all for now. Glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever
shall be, world without end, amen.
