Preparatory Text

Introduction

The Holy Spirit has inspired and moved me to write of the high philosophical matters again. This time however, I shall not write of my own thoughts anymore, for I have no thoughts of my own. Instead I shall write of what the Holy Spirit inserts into me. Now why is this necessary? The high philosophy, or the good name of it, metaphysics, is the chief study of God through what can be reasoned naturally by man. God has stated that He can be attained through the grace of natural reason, for that reason we shall investigate that and accept Divine Revelation.

Biblical Studies

The biblical studies will not end, but continue along with the philosophical studies. For the Bible is the Holy Word of God, not because human words are holy, but because Christ, the absolute Word of God, is Holy, for He is God Himself. We write of Scripture for our divinely inspired faith in the Lord, that the Scripture is divinely inspired and as such is worthy of study and deeper understanding. The goal is complete divine understanding of He who Absolutely Is. An integration with all philosophical studies to reveal the Truth. This is what I feel the Holy Spirit guides me towards.

Difficulty

I sense the great difficulty of this work, because in the past I relied on myself and only myself. While I prayed before working, those prayers are not carried throughout the entire work, I wrote still of my own mind, and not of God's mind. Now, let all fears of difficulties and despairs be cast away for God Himself shall instruct me and teach me in the matters of Himself. For there is no such thing as an original thought, and any original thought must be destroyed for it can only be evil.

The End

The end of man is God, just as God is his beginning. The Church, that is the mystical Body of Christ, teaches that the end of man is to see God face to face. However, whatever does this mean is still a mystery to me. No, it is not, to see God means to comprehend God in an intellectual vision. Such vision can lead to great joy and happiness, which is eternal and unchanging, and that is the end of man. 

Now it is said that God is incomprehensible. This does not stop the Holy Spirit from moving me to write about whatever He wants me to write. It means that to a certain degree God is comprehensible. If He wasn't, I wouldn't be writing this at all. For what is the merits of writing about an incomprehensible God. Yet God may have other reasons for inspiring me to write, reasons which I do not truly fathom at this point of time.

This is the reason God wants me to write about Himself, that is He wants me to comprehend Him. This is His gift to me, a precious gift of understanding. And it is His will that I eventually share my understanding to others in a way fitting. This writing serves as a preparatory writing for all further writings in God. I pray to the Holy Spirit that He shall continue to guide me and enlighten me and teach me on the matters pertaining to Himself and to His fellow God-Persons.
