A Brief Discussion With Mathew



Matthew 16:19:
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

What of this verse?

(What of it do you desire to know?)

Does this not mean that the (H)eartH and the Heart(H) are Heaven and that Heaven is the HeartH, everything and all, known and unknown?

(Umm? What?)

Isn't the verse saying that the kingdom of Heaven is the Heart(H) and (H)eartH, the HeartH, and are equally bound by one another, bound by our creations upon it?

(It means that God shall give us the keys to Heaven if we will but believe in Him.)

But it says whatsoever shall we create on earth, we shall find in heaven, doesn't it?

(Yes, but-)

No buts. That's what it says. It says that whatsoever we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. It means what it says. It means that they are a reflection of one another.

(That's taking the verse out of context.)

No. It's taking the verse literally.

(But the context is important.)

Then how about the verse preceding Mathew 16:19?

(Okay.)

Mathew 16:18:
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Sounds like Jesus was telling Peter that God's church was the rock, the (H)eartH.

(I believe it was just a big rock that he was referring to.)

To humankind there is no bigger rock than the one beneath their feet.

(True.)

Then there's the verse that follows 16:19?

(Mathew 16:20.)

Yes.

"Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ."

(Correct.)

Okay. Then the context is found more in Mathew 16:18, right?

(Yes.)

Then it is quite possible that Jesus was telling Peter that the (H)eartH was the humankind's original altar.

(Okay.)

And that whatever humankind created of it would come from their beliefs.

(Wow! Would you look at the time? I hate to cut our conversation short, scribbler, but I've got to go, I'm late for an appointment! God bless you!)

And you, kind spirit, God bless you. Peace, my friend...

(Yip!)

[-The man quickly exits. Scribe reflects for a moment.-]

The door of thought slams shut, its echo stays within us both, my friend. Godspeed.

[Silence...]

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. . [a quietude begins, the truth being heard and heeded, grooving to the flow] ~ © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
