cross the RED
philosophy of love
CROSS-THE-RED
is a philosophy of Love as human identity.
"I am" made visible as embodied beauty of a human face & body.
"If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our home with him." John 14:23
Love is an individual physical embodyment
that represents the image of its creator -
Lord Jesus Christ
in every human being.
The face of a face.
Red being the state of division of human senses - internal and external.
My senses divide my perception and, thus, identity.
Who I am versus who I think I am.
Internal perception being my physical senses of what is
versus external mind (common sense) of the world
knowing about what is me and the external reality.
In this state of divided perception I THINK I know who I am and what everything in external reality is.
I can interpret and understand it all by using language that names both: internal and external realities.
But word is not a thing itself.
It defines it, commands it, but is NOT it.
I know my body has its name but I can`t sense the name nor see it neither internally nor externally.
My name is not me, yet it names me.
You know me by my name and body.
Yet, you don`t know me internally, my individual senses.
How it feels to be me? How the world senses through my senses.
It`s exclusively for me to know who I am.
I know I have a face but I can`t see it neither internally nor externally
without the reflection or the eye of the other.
My face is external.
It defines me outwardly and faces the external reality around me.
It separates me from other people and the external reality around me.
Human perception of reality is divided into invisible internal reflection known only to the inner "I am"
as the cause or reflection of external, which is sensible to other people too
according to their own senses and understanding.
Being born into the external, collective world around me as its invaded statistical unit,
the temptation is to identify and think of myself as being a part of it.
For example: I am a woman, white, beautiful in the Western part of the world etc.
as any person would perceive me according to the worlds knowledge.
Another temptation is to change and modify myself into belonging to another external category.
For example: I can add lots of extra weight or extra arm and become fat and weird woman or transman living on Mars.
Yet, my senses always remain divided - I have an inner and outer perception and understanding of who I am
and what is the reality around me based on my own senses and perception of the world.
Regardless of what I do or think - it is a divided perception we all are born into as human beings.
We are serving 2 masters - the "I am" and the external world -
which is not possible, according to Jesus Christ and the natural law of causation -
the principle that every event (effect) must have a preceding cause,
forming an unbroken chain of events governed by natural laws,
fundamental to science and philosophy.
P.S. Immanuel Kant: Argued causality isn't just observed
but a fundamental structure of the human mind through which we perceive reality.
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and world". Matthew 6:24
Therefore, in order for any human to be free of divided perception and life, he has to choose to surrender
personal identity and will to Christ, our savior, who has created us as an undivided individuals
required to love each other and God above everyone.
“What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control." Hebrews 2:5
This is how collective mankind of Adam and Eve dies and
is born again into a free INDIVIDUAL
by deciding to love, which is to conceive the Biblical Image of God (Love as Jesus Christ)
via consecration of oneself to the Immaculate Conception / the Virgin Mary.
James 4:8
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
As the result you are -
a contented, undivided, resourceful persona -
a perfect child of God.
Christ-like.
It is not your works anymore that you identify with,
but only the works of Christ in which you establish your identity.
"He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.
And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father,
and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21
You are His beloved regardless of circumstances around you.
He loves you, He lives through you, breathes through you,
He eats, walks, talks, suffers, delights and is you.
As if you alone don`t matter anymore and, yet, you matter the most.
And, His deep knowing of "who I am"
results in contagious contentment, resourcefulness, beauty and Christ-likeness of me.
I don`t have to be a "whore" anymore to work for affection of men and other gods.
"I receive not honor from men", John 5:41
Philosopher and Catholic Church Doctor Thomas Aquinas taught that Grace “perfects” nature,
that creation is inherently imperfect without relationship with Christ/Love.
No good fruit produced, no peace, no contentment. When you serve others for the benefit of self.
When you desire to be liked, loved, valued high by others.
It is when an individual has reached
the point of identity, beauty, dis-ease and self value crisis,
which is inevitable in every human life
because of the inborn divided mind and the nature of death that cannot resurrect itself.
