The concepts of our Paradigms are simple, but there are a lot of moving parts. So we should understand that some assembly is required. The big picture may be fairly complex, but if we keep the steps simple, it won't be complicated.
Before we take the next step, let's settle our orientation. Our paradigms are intrinsically woven into our souls. The ancient Greek word for soul is psyche. And that's why the modern word for studying the soul is psychology.
It will be impossible to understand how our paradigms work without some idea how our souls work. So, we will be taking a Biblically academic look at ourselves. But academics alone can be a trap.
The Bible aggressively encourages us to study. It tells us that we may be destroyed for the lack of knowledge. But the Church has developed a terrible academic problem.
We preach an academic gospel of an academic Jesus to the academically lost on their academic way to an academic hell. We use our academic faith to receive academic grace and become academically saved. Then we become academic disciples following an academic way of academic righteousness and academic sanctification. Then we wonder why our lives remain academically unchanged.
We certainly need our academics. But academic solutions only solve academic problems. Since we actually have real-life problems, we need real-life solutions.
Our academics can and should reveal the way to receive and apply these real-life solutions to our real-life problems. But if we're never able to transcend the gap between academics and real-life, we may never find our solutions in life.
With that in mind, it would seem be better to make this an adventure getting to know, and to actually experience the Perfect Paradigm rather than to just study about it.
The persuasive words of human wisdom may sound good, but eventually they will fail us. The Perfect Paradigm will never fail you.
