Aeon Doodle

I generated a lengthy diary during a pivotal time period in my pilgrims progress. I think it was simply a spill over from not having a necessary third reference point to balance the mental chair. While this is meager by comparison, rereading what I thought a week or month ago still provided a reference point.

At some time I hope to dictate it’s contents into a software tool and limitedly publish those words to those who might find them relative to their experience - an exceptionally small audience by any measure. Nevertheless, this diary was a very useful and necessary venting of some critical issues that eventually came to full resolution.

In the diary I infrequently took to doodling. The primary artifacts were to summarize modes of thinking, and in this case only those of Charles Malik and Anders Nygren. I studied both of their views extensively and found I could render their universe in a fairly simple sketch. I was then able to layout my own thinking in contrast to theirs. This visual method significantly clarified the differences, albeit only to myself.

I wanted to pass along my “History of the Universe” chart at left. I began this blog with a detailed biblical time line from creation to current day based on details passed on from the Old and New Testaments. This drawing has a slightly different theme than that. It is meant to contrast the light with the dark or the Godly with the ungodly. The time bound earth is enclosed; everything within it’s borders is subject to the conditions of the fall. God’s presence through man, up to the time of Christ, is gray as it’s under the old aeon. The arrival of the Son on the scene is white as are all the expressions of him since that time. Also, since that time, the Spirit of the anti-Christ began and continues to grow. The re-expansion of the white bubble is the reformation. I consider Luther, and others likeminded, a reiteration of the original gospel (freedom from the law) as a temporary correction of the ever darkening closure of the spirit of the antichrist. The end of the age is where the time bubble ceases and those who are part of the white are reunited with the eternal word encapsulating this creation.
