The Afterlife is not inaccurate
(Lk 12:1-7)
Mk’s Gospel identifies the «leaven of the Pharisees» with the ideology of power.
Instead, Lk speaks of it to denounce the emphasis and inner duplicity of the authorities.
Jesus’ call against the hypocrisy or «theatricality» of the official religion that abandons people to themselves, is «first to his disciples» (v.1).
At all times Christ opposes those who play a role, lose their nature and become artificial, using God to be feared and respected.
Women and men of Faith are already enabled in Christ and at the center of their essence; they must not bend to chase artifacted voices of the world outside: they do not bring Eternity.
Rather, sons yearn to be transparent, clear, sincere.
Non-negotiable principle is not to hide the truth. This, starting from one’s own innate inclination-character that comes before the role.
And leaders must encourage everyone to find their way, each foretasting the value, the fate of the unrepeatability in person - not being great insiders, with a completely different purpose.
For this reason, in the risen churches in Christ all the masks that grips people that have little energy, out of the loop, those arrived last, marginalized, misunderstood, "inadequate", lonely, must fall.
No one has the power to kill another’s soul.
Nor can he subjugate its own heart - without losing the truly pure vocational seed, full of a priceless name; though in tiny appearance.
Also the scene of the spontaneous examples that Jesus draws from nature - an echo of the conciliatory life dreamed for us by the Father - introduces to Happiness that makes us aware of existing in all personal reality.
In fact, the Gospel passage shows the value of genuine, silent, inconspicuous things, which however live in us - they are not "shadows". And we perceive them without effort or brain commitment.
In the time of epochal choices, of emergencies that seem to put all in check but intend to make anyone less artificial - such awareness can overturn the judgment on the ‘small’ and the ‘great’.
In fact, for the love adventure there is neither accounting nor clamor.
It’s in God and in the reality the ‘place’ for each of us without lacerations.
The afterlife is not inaccurate.
We mustn’t distort ourselves, in order to have consent... let alone for the ‘Heaven’ that overcomes death.
The destiny of uniqueness does not fall into ruin: it’s precious and dear, as it is in nature.
It’s necessary to see its Beauty, future and already current.
With immediate gain marginalised [any social guarantee not pertaining to the value of smallness], there will be no more need to identify with the skeletons of established or fashionable thinking and manners.
Nor will it count to be (each!) placed above and in front: rather in the background, already rich and perfect, in the intimate sense of the fullness of being.
So we won’t have to trample on, each other (v.1)... even to meet Jesus.
