Why men need science in the future

 What if science were to change overnight? What if science were to take on a totally new way and we were to be part of it? I think of science as cool and I suspect it will be with us for life.

Yet if life is to be fruitful then science must follow suit. How? Lets imagine sin is the spirit of the age. In it we put out feelers for life and sin takes us to the hangers where we pull down blinds.

There is nothing wrong with blinds or even blinders for a horse. What is wrong is that they blindfold us to the sight of life in its fullness.

Now what I speak of is mostly metaphorical. In the age of metaphors we have a force of time on our side in that we can play with life and let it become part of the solution to the future. We have time to think and if in thinking we realize that we have to have hope then it becomes the major d of all life forms.

Life isn’t about being blind to the needs of others. Life is meant to provide and provide is when we drive through at McDonalds. We take the science of handing money to the person as art. We have it locked down and it is a series of pit stops which are timed to perfection. Only there is something in it called sin who skims off the value at the top.

Now if I say McDonalds is cheating its employees by chaining them to a chair you would say I was crazy. The McD’s would probably want to sue and so this is why I speak of metaphor. If we are to see science in a new way then we must take the till to a new level. And that is why we have to return the one thing our age somehow, inadvertently it seems, left out of the picture. The k in skim or skimming down to a point of simulated life forms.

Imagine that all things in life are made equal. What makes things unequal is people who have no freedom. They are locked into a job with no hope of a future. They have dreams but they are unrealized. Even though the future in McDonalds can be great it isn’t the key to prosperity of life as I speak of it. It isn’t the hope of a great future in all ways nor is it the perfect way to spend a life locked to a chair knowing taking money for a burger is all they’ll do the rest of their life.

Having said that I speak to all forms of retail because the idea I have is to return life to the till and that isn’t easy for this age in which everything is becoming rote and routine.

Perhaps the reason I speak of this is because God revealed this to me in prayer. I see it clearly but the problem is the world doesn’t. The world sees what is being done as the perfection of machine and people. Only again the k of it is lost because people think it is meant to be left out. Or at least in the sense of knowledge.

Lets go back to the till. In the old days when you tilled the ground you put in seed. The seed was an expectation of increase. It wasn’t value for value but increase of value. If you put in the equivalent of one seed and that one seed gave you one seed it would be a horrible miscarriage of nature and of life. We know that life is meant to produce in multitude and that means the till we have today doesn’t do that. It gives us seed for seed but it doesn’t give us increase of value for the money we put into it.

In addition the person who is at the chair knows that he is chained to the burger because his hope isn’t in the money but in the size of his allowance or pay. He too is given value for value. It isn’t an increase that helps him pay the bills later on because value is given based on value at the till and if men give it they gain it but if no one gives it remains static and still. We call it science of logic but it is reason without a season of reaping.

In addition it is sin and sin is when a man or a woman sits in the chair taking money knowing it is value for value only in it is a loss taking place which his heart sees and we see. Of course we don’t see it at that place or position but when we are home counting up bills. Then we lose sight of the burger we purchased because we received our value but not our increase. The increase then becomes the price of the bills and not the promise of hope for a new future.

Thus the entire venture is cost effective until we count the cost. Then it is that we see that sin as a spirit has entered into the equation. We see lost of value knowing our bills pile up but we cannot get ahead.

The world sees it as a way of saving by foregoing purchasing the burgers in life. Instead we increase our savings by making them instead. That only postpones, if you will, the value of life by saving the seed and the enjoyment. Having said that I’ll probably have lots of people disagreeing with me but I speak as one who finds it difficult to make their own burger because of the issue of going to the store, standing in line, making sure the burgers are fresh and so on down the line. I find today I can purchase that burger for about the same value as making it when I count the issue of time and gas.

It is also the issue of sin and sin isn’t getting off scottfree in this issue. He is the k or knowledge of good and evil and the one which keeps science at bay. If we thought of putting seed into the till and knew sin was skimming we would laugh. It is the price of solace and sorrow. In solace is the burger yet in sorrow is the bill. In life is the question of time and the time of sin in that he takes out hope. Hope is given in part with the burger but loss is the issue of time. We know people go there with hope of a check but they lose it in the value of push and shove to be first in line. If we had a better system it would be one where people shove down the line and give those who need it first choice in the equation.

This means helping those who are at the windows waiting on us by giving them hope. It increases value by aiding knowledge and knowledge is what people are after. Imagine if we could give people hope and McDonalds gave us promise of increase in the future?

On one note lets say that the receipt carries the name of a cashier or worker at the store along with a request they have which McDonalds cannot give. Lets say a weekend at Banff for the worker of the day. People take it home and read it and then they give that person a check which is their price of freedom. McDonalds reciprocates by saying “Well give you that weekend off with pay”.

It becomes a whammy if the people give and like that person and if McDonalds does for them what is asked for in return. Now imagine we keep those receipts because they each carry a number and the number is the value of a prize given to the people who come in often. It is a value of increase and a hope of life in freeing us from seeing only the bills. We see instead two ways of increasing hope. One for us and one for the people who work at McDonalds. We carry them as ways of helping in all ways by keeping those receipts as a reminder of people at McDonalds.

This goes for each place we visit often. All of us go places on a regular basis. Today they give us incentives but not hope. Hope is when we have promise of increase which produces further seed and that seed is based on promise of increase and promise of a future and even promise of making life easier for everyone.

Some might say science isn’t based on emotion but the fact is that might be true for data but it isn’t true for the heart. We are emotional and giving help to people becomes a sign saying “This was granted to the helpers by customers at the drive through” and we don’t have to feel guilty about it if we don’t give.

Now some might say “Take away the chance one person might get more” and I understand the thinking. There is a chance one person might have a desire that isn’t answered and so the simple way is taking from Peter to pay Paul.

Now as one who knows the issue of loss in chance I will answer “Let God answer the prayers by letting chance be part of life”.

In other words if a store has 30 employees and each day one of them is given a name on the back with a request it seems one person might get half the help while the others get little. However sometimes that is the way life works. I have had it up to the teeth with the issue of fair because fair doesn’t work. At least when it comes to the skim. That is because the till does the job but it doesn’t carry equality so much as time.

In other words that one person who gets little may find they have to pray harder or ask more or seek less. Whatever it is requires time to think and to dream without letting jealousy getting in the way.

I speak from experience and from being last to receive. People around me want more and more and more but few really want to give to others. We want others to give to us. Thus the round of the k is that it doesn’t add up to much of a future and we forget how to have hope.

The fact is if I see people take this idea and run with it by sharing in the sense of putting donations in a ‘for all’ I know they don’t understand it. We have to be forthright in our prayer for help. We have to understand the concept of hope. We have to know that hope is removed by the guy who sits at the till. He doesn’t see value of increase. It goes to McDonalds. McDonalds needs to be educated in giving hope. Hope is the increase beyond the till. Hope is the increase to the person who is in the chair or behind the grill.

The grill is the point of when men grin with anticipation knowing their life is on the line in the food they prepare because it is good and right for the body. Grill isn’t meant to be the grilling of prison life or the gruel reminder of time in Gulag.
