The human tradition of being the human fool, the handicapped beggar on the road, unable to grasp the perspective needed to find success is part of an ancient tradition and journey that began with the making of the Sphinx, that half divine, half animal hybrid over 20,000 years BC and after the fall of Atlantis.

Perhaps the sands of Africa can never reveal the truth about the otherworldly origins of the temporary human being.

Unrefined and unenlightened, somehow always the wrong species in the wrong place at the right time, there were many other beings on this planet that always looked the same as us that seemed perhaps genetically to be able to do what the human could not.

In this respect the Human was always blind to the greater reality and its life-giving love, though it was his duty and the duty of his brothers and sisters who willed him here to be tested to find the greatness of that love.

On any journey the journeyman human would make – there was ultimately one truth and one reality to find .. eternal love.

The truth was and is though, that unless we as humans can reconnect with the True Vine of Christ we would perish:

John 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.
