Basic Message of Sermon On the Mount
As far as I can tell, the basic message of the Sermon on the Mount is something like, "assume that Being is good, and that your role is to further that good, and that the most appropriate way to do that is to tell the truth and to concentrate on the day." Something like that. That strikes me as… Well, it strikes me as extraordinarily wise.[1]
Soul of the individual eternally hungers for the heroism of genuine Being.[Citation Needed]
Interpretations
Two ways of being
- You are trapped in the past
- Can you be someone with infinite future possibilities, and choosing one? This is to be conscious, awake. [This is pure quantum]. Consciousness takes a potential and turns it into a reality [collapses the wave function]
Live in a manner that justifies the fragility of being. You justify being by how you choose to exist. You can live in a way that does not justify being, but I don’t recommend it.
We have to make some basic decisions: Love: Being, is worthwhile. "I'm going to act as is Being is worthwhile." Truth: play the game with a straight bat. "I'm going to act as if truth is the path to enlightenment."
We must commit to this.
You should live in a way that justifies the fragility of being. Justify being by how you choose to exist.
Is life terrible? It depends on how you live
