CHANGING
PLANES
The knotted and tangled problems of today -
environmental, political, social, moral, ethical, economic and so forth -
have several points in common. With so many of them :
(1) There is no solution on the current
plane of today's life.
(2) The only real solution lies on a higher
plane to which we have no access of our own.
(3) Changing planes can only be done by
following a guide who knows the way and can lead us over the bridge.
(4) Only someone who has descended from a
higher plane to a lower one and returned to the higher can create such a
bridge for us to cross.
(5) Only Jesus has descended from the
highest heaven to the very lowest depths of hell and returned to the highest
heaven again. He calls to us all, "Follow Me".
(6) Those who have themselves crossed such
a bridge can in turn guide others across it.
(7) Christians call the higher planes "The
Kingdom of God".
(8) Within the Kingdom of God - where
Christ reigns increasingly - even the most intractable problems have
solutions.
(9) To stay on the current plane where our
problems are insoluble ends in death.
(10) Changing planes is seldom without cost
or pain; but not one thing in life is more worth doing.
Martin Mosse,
March 1999.
