The Vision Of God. Fragment H This fragment is from the late-second-century Christian intellectual St. Clement (Titus Flavious Clemens) of Alexandria. It concerns the hearts prerequisites, or acquaintance with God. And ONE there is Who is good! Its free act of speaking is the manifestation of the Son. And through It alone can the heart become pure, when every evil spirit has been put out of the heart. For the many spirits dwelling in the heart do not permit it to become pure; rather, each of them performs its own acts, violating it in various ways with improper desires. And in my opinion the heart experiences something like what happens in a caravansary. ( A rural inn in the east, with large enclosed courtyard for pack animals, where caravans would stop overnight) For the latter is full of holes and dug up and often filled with dung, because while they are there, people live in an utterly vulgar way and take no (forethough) (t; note: God is compared to as Forethought, all that emanated from the Source is compared to afterthought.) for the property, since it belongs to someone else. Just so, a heart too is impure by being the habitation of many demons, until it experiences (forethought). But when the Father, who alone is good, visits the heart, he makes it Holy and fills it with Light. And so a person who has such a heart is called blessed, for that person will see God. I give you this because I just returned from a conference hosted by A.R.E. with Gregg Braden as the keynote speaker. A former scientist and researcher, Gregg explained the new awareness that the brain is no longer considered the commander of the vessel. It is the heart that is now believed to be the instrument that controls the brain. This could certainly be the reason mental illness cannot be cured, they are attending to the wrong source of the problem. Jesus said The problem with mankind is that it has no communication between the mind and the heart. Amazing! Focus on bringing good into your heart people.
