E = MC2.... M = E / C2


So everything came together with light and energy. There is a spiritual light and energy...

Energy = get up and go, warmth, motivation, love.
Light = faith, hope, charity (along with charis-grace, chara-joy, chairo-cheer)


So... What is the opposite of all of that?

Nothing = absolute zero / darkness

And there are attributes to spiritual nothingness....

absolute zero - laziness, coldness, hate
darkness - fear, melancholy, hate (rudeness, more melancholy, sadness)


No greater destructive power than melancholy!


"The blues has had a child and its name is rock and roll." -Muddy Waters

Why do people take drugs? Commit suicide? Do stupid things? Is it not because of the terrific amount of nothingness in their hearts? Read the books of Moses and of all the trouble melancholy made for the children of Israel.


And then... And then! If that were bad enough! We have Christians falling into melancholy and using the bible as their basis! We have a preacher in our area who preaches under the unction of melancholy. Nothing escapes his dark hole of bitterness... Especially Joel Osteen!


Warm my heart!



John Wesley lost his church and his dad and was at the end of his ropes. He then goes to a German Moravian meeting where he finds his heart "Strangely warmed by the Love of God!" This is what the world needs. We will win no one with the spirit of melancholy!
