Hmm...  Something about the big picture in Ecclesiastes seems to be what is good for a person, regardless of the amount of time spent.  This can be combined with the concept that Christ had illustrated in a servant who is faithful in small things is also faithful in large things.  If a person is loving in small things, they are also loving in big things.  It is an interesting concept.

If the short amount of time one spends on this planet during the few days of their lives is spent wisely, lovingly towards Father, also with fear of Father as our Holy Father, and lovingly towards our neighbors, then that being the example of a short period of time can be an example of a long period of time.  At that, with the ability to continue trying to grow and apply all the lessons one learns all the time.  Being Christ's footstep follower.

If a person has faith the size of a mustard seed, it can be grown to be also faith the size of a large tree.  It is a very interesting way of seeing things, as well.  A small sign can make a big difference.

As Father can see the beginning from the end [Isaiah 46:10], and the following also applies, 2 Peter 3:8, it can be seen that Father's perspective on things is quite unique, and Father continually provides further opportunity to learn and grow to understand and also take part in further aligning our own perspective with that of Her own, which is the Truth and Light of all matters.

When ministering, especially in matters of the Truth (which is in speaking of everyone and everything), provide nourishment for all questions, answer questions with questions for those questions that would not lead in the right direction so that the questions might lead in the right direction, and keep the focus towards Father and no other source.  In this way, the Truth is focused upon, and not one's own self, nor in giving glory and praise to any being other than directly to Father, whom is our Father.

Ecclesiastes 11.  Fleeting and futility does not equal be sad about it.  Or for oneself to be taken aback or depressed by the futility and fleetingness of the things around them.  There are things that seem to be that one should be sad about...but the futility of things or how quickly things may come and go do not seem to be on that list.

On a more personal note, the things that I have been more sad about are the same things that this chapter of Ecclesiastes has said that one does not have to be, and in that...not to be.  Yet, I am not sure...  That is, I am not sure how to accept the futility of things.  If there is anything that I have sought, I know I have sought things that are truly of value, that do not deteriorate over time, that are permanent and true and real for all time.  Based on Ecclesiastes, though, even that can be a futility.  It is difficult to consider, though, because it means that there are very few reasons to be alive.  Yet, Father has placed it in our hearts to live, and want to live.  If one was not bound by laws that governed whether they would live or die, then no matter what oneself did, what would seem to matter most is what brings happiness and fulfillment in everything they do.

Something I had not considered before was that even if a person is poor in finances, they may still be rich in Father's blessing.  At the same time, a person who is rich in finances can be rich in Father's blessing, and a poor person in finances can also be poor in Father's treasures.

Should a person who is, say, a millionaire, go off and give away all their money and become poor and live amongst people as a homeless person?  There is an excess in physical things, and there can also be an excess in the lack of physical things.  The balance does not lie within what one thinks of their own self, but by what Father Yahweh sees in all things.  One must be very prayerful towards Father in all these things, because money, itself, is idolatrous, and can snare a person who is not careful to stay from it.  Really, the whole scheme seems to be setup just to snare or enslave a people.

Father has given people Free Will for a reason.  To discover that reason is to also discover Father's knowledge, to discover Her view points on Free Will, and to learn and perhaps also to come to understand Father's own feelings about Her own creation.  In this, to come to further understand Free Will also means to come to further understand a gift that comes from Father, Herself.  That is, a part of Father.  In this, the only way to come to understand Free Will is only through Father, by Father, and from Father.  Otherwise, one will not truly come to know Father, nor will they further possibly understand themselves.  If one does not further understand themselves, they may be more susceptible to those things that target oneself in areas that oneself is not familiar with.  Of course, this can span beyond oneself and into things infinitesimally large, because there will always be more to learn about oneself.  This, in itself, means to further depend on Father, and love Father, because Father has already foreseen that Her children will make mistakes, and has provided a way to not only keep from making mistakes in the future, but also to learn from mistakes.  At the same time, one must be diligent not to willfully make mistakes, either, because that is a horrible transgression.

Maintenance of lessons passed learned takes remembrance and reviewing of those lessons and being sure to recall those lessons upon a situation that would utilize them.  A large limit of a person's mind can limit a person's ability to apply all the lessons at once, but Father has already provided for a means to grow the mind beyond its normal boundaries.  At the same time, lessons and things are more easily remembered when there are many more triggers to help remember them.  For instance, emotion helps to recall different details in different events and things.  If an event sparks an emotion, and a lesson, that lesson can be reapplied when something else sparks a similar emotion.  In this, there are many parts of a person's being, and a lot to consider in all that Father has provided Her Creation.

It is said that a person learns things and remembers them via visual, audible, and written methods.  I feel that there is more, just based on what was written above.  Perhaps, if something also causes a person to feel something as they learn something, that the feeling also helps to instill that lesson.  On a personal note, I recall more Martial Arts techniques and concepts out of how practicing the art can make me feel at times.  For instance, learning to run up a wall, perform a backflip, hand spring, etc.  All those things cause me to feel...one of those moments.  Performing a well-placed kick, or striking with a jab quickly...all those things cause certain feelings...  An almost, "Aha" moment.  For different people, different things may stick closer than others.  If one likes or enjoys the practice of mathematics, perhaps there are many different things that will stick close to their heart.  This, in itself, helps to show that Love is a very important aspect in a person's growth, because without Father, nothing would stick together in a person at all.

It is difficult to say what is what and what is this or that.  In this, a person may weigh out one hundred pounds of gold, and some may say that that is a lot of gold...but according to what scale?  If the gold were compared to a hundred pounds of radioactive uranium, which could be very valuable due to its composition, the concepts could be very difficult to maintain.  Where is the line drawn concerning the value of things?  Truly, everything is Father's, and oneself can't see what Father can see.  An honest scale is...a scale that is based on honesty.  But yet, does that mean that the value of something can change?  It does not seem that way, because honesty, itself, does not change values, but is truly honest.  The Truth does not change, and if everything that is attached to Truth with Love is unchanging, just as Father is unchanging, then neither do honest scales.  Which also means that the system of supply and demand is...not based on honesty, or the value of things would not change based just on how many people want something or other.  Supply and demand seems to more or less take advantage of people, rather than try to provide for them in full generosity.

There are many things not yet understood.  Not a lot of things yet remembered.  One shouldn't rush, or the roots of their lessons may not take hold.  Yet, there shouldn't be futile laziness, or nothing would grow in its due time.  All in Father's Will for everything.

It is interesting what Father has created.  The deeper I dig, the more is seen, yet...  I also know what I am digging for...what I am digging to find.  I cannot know Father's works from beginning or end.  That is not for me to know.  Yet, I know Father is at the beginning and the end, and it is really Father Who I am digging for.  Whom I am digging to discover more about, and all the while, also digging with Father, in Her energy, with Her Spirit.

Scripture can be incorrectly put together.  The heart is deceitful.  Core values and the meaning of those values must be fully explored.  And maintained.  That is, all of Father's gifts.  As it was said to us before, anything outside of Father's Will is futile.  Thus, everything within and concerning Father's Will and all that Father would have is not.  Therefore, Wisdom, righteousness, justice, peace, love, Truth, the Way.  Father's divine plan and Law for Creation.  Those, amongst much, much more, are not futile.  In this way, the Spiritual War that wages is also of that which is truly valuable, and that which is futile, such that the truly valuable things must be maintained, and that which is futile must be totally removed and never seen or allowed for ever again.
