On Divine Providence in Life
in Revelations of Divine Love
Lady Julian of Norwich (1343-1416)
anchoress, visionary & spiritual advisor
“And I saw that truly nothing happens by accident or luck, but everything by God's wise providence. If it seems to be accident or luck from our point of view, our blindness and lack of foreknowledge is the cause; for matters that have been in God's foreseeing wisdom since before time began befall us suddenly, all unawares; and so in our blindness and ignorance we say that this is accident or luck, but to our Lord God it is not so.”
“...deeds are done which appear so evil to us and people suffer such terrible evils that it does not seem as though any good will ever come of them; and we consider this, sorrowing and grieving over it so that we cannot find peace in the blessed contemplation of God as we should do; and this is why: our reasoning powers are so blind now, so humble and so simple, that we cannot know the high, marvelous wisdom, the might and the goodness of the Holy Trinity. And this is what he means where he says, 'You shall see for yourself that all manner of things shall be well', as if he said, 'Pay attention to this now, faithfully and confidently, and at the end of time you will truly see it in the fullness of joy.”
~~~~~~~ PERSONAL BIO NOTE~~~~~~~~
The choices I was given and the choices I made have been with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit
I am a pilgrim on a journey to an unknown land, seeking for something I cannot define.
.
Now in my 8th decade, I am beginning to find in the Scriptures, in the wisdom and scholarship of the ages, in modern science, and in my own experiences in life, all with the help of the Holy Spirit, some of the understanding I am seeking including a concept that we are all players in God's Great Game of Life. with the Bible as our playbook.
In my search for understanding. I have been a participnt-observer in the lives of scholars, research scientists, and the famous, rich, and royal. But most important in the livesof the people in isolated communities in Andalucia, Spain and Connemara, Ireland, where there was they had the best life possible in the modern world.
.
After I had learned from each of my lives, I moved on to the next life. I could not go back to any of those lives now, because they no longer exist. All that remains is what I have learned and the archival Kodacromes I took as a photo-ethnographer for British Geographical and other publications.
.
The greatest joy and blessing in my life was in the unexpected chance to work with symphony orchestras to bring classical music into young lives and to popularize free symphony concerts among all ages and segments of the community. The grants for the concerts included from the National Endowment for the Arts.
This work was done using the latest digital technology for the arts and media, of which I was a developer and technical writer. I chose to donate my time and ability to classical music organizations in Los Angeles and to our Santa Monica School District. .LINK.
