Reflect The Eyes of Jesus Christ - Hope, Love and Peace - Christians Illuminating Light - Armor of Light: III - Peter Arnold

For the faithful, transformation as loving disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ is promised to all who believe! So surrender to the infinite possibilities . . . 

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, given the call for national unity and healing, what inspires you on this path of enlightenment?

"We need to be the 'eyes of Christ,' which is Love itself.  First, we must look at each human being as beautifully made with the spark of God.  Each person is unique for this age and time. Second, to remember Jesus Christ's new commandment: 'Love One Another.'  Thus, if we can meditate on these as 'Holy guideposts,' we can stay on the right path of illumination."

"A remarkable song of unity, 'In Your Eyes,' has been resonating with me lately . . . is by the accomplished musician and songwriter, Peter Gabriel.  Below are some of the main lyrics and a performance with Youssou N'Dour. (The link to the video is the caption of the pic)."

"In Your Eyes" Performed By Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour

"After you watch the above video, you may want to discern the hidden treasures in the remarkable lyrics.  Can you imagine if you could gaze right now into the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ, what would you see? The light of 1,000 churches? Would you see His eternal love for you and the universe reflected in His eyes? Will your eyes be transformed into His vision by the Holy Spirit? Is the light of Jesus Christ's eyes, 'In Your Eyes,'? When you finally see the face of Christ, will you see your face reflected in His eyes? Will your eyes become His eyes as beacons of hope, mercy and love?"

Here are the lyrics to the song for you to contemplate:

“In Your Eyes”

By Songwriter Peter Gabriel

I get so lost, sometimes

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart.

When I want to run away

I drive off in my car.

But whichever way I go

I come back to the place you are.

All my instincts, they return

And the grand facade, so soon will burn,

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside.

In your eyes

The light, the heat

(Your eyes)

I am complete

(Your eyes)

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

(Your eyes)

The resolution of all the fruitless searches

(Your eyes)

I see the light and the heat

(Your eyes)

I want to be that compete

I want to touch the light

The heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes

In your eyes

In your eyes

Love, I don’t like to see so much pain

So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

All my instincts, they return

And the grand facade, so soon will burn,

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside.

In your eyes

The light, the heat

(Your eyes)

I am complete

(Your eyes)

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

(Your eyes)

The resolution of all the fruitless searches

(Your eyes)

I see the light and the heat

(Your eyes)

I want to be that compete

I want to touch the light

The heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes

In your eyes

In your eyes

Accepting all I’ve done and said

I want to stand and stare again

’Til there is nothing left, whoa,

It remains there in your eyes

Whatever comes and goes

Oh, it’s in your eyesI

8 Kinds of LOVE You Should Learn While On Planet Earth - Making the Most of Our Human Experience - Virtues - Love is the Greatest Gift

 

While we all yearn for romantic love . . . here's a secret: Love is eternal. 

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, if "Love" is the supreme virtue of all virtues, why do we as humans seem to stumble?  How has the quest for "Love" impacted your story writing?

"Yes, the quest for 'Love' perhaps is a metaphor for the "Holy Grail."  If God is 'Love,' as defined in the Gospel of John, then is has been revealed to us as the 'Truth' of our existence. Let's review the eight different kinds of 'Love' as defined by the ancient Greeks.

The first type of 'Love' is 'Eros Love.' This kind of love at its core is sensuality, the physical embodiment of attraction between two people, leading to sexual passion.

The second type of 'Love' is 'Philia Love,"  This kind of love is deep friendship.  Think of those friends who have been helpful to you through the years.  You are at ease around them enjoying their companionship and can easily confide in them fearing no judgement.

The third type of 'Love' is called, 'Ludus Love.' This kind of love is characterized by a playful, flirting, joking and typified by 'living in the moment,' without major commitments.

The fourth type of 'Love' is called, 'Pragma Love.' This kind of love is seen in many kinds of longstanding relationships, long-term marriages and friendships.  It can be described as somewhat 'business-like,' symbiotic, a mutual beneficial arrangement.  

A fifth type of 'Love' is called 'Storge Love.'  This kind of love is best described as family love with siblings, cousins, offspring; familial love.

A sixth type of 'Love' is called, 'Philautia Love.' This kind of love is characterized by self-love; a regard for one's own happiness. self-compassion.  An adverse side of 'Philautia Love' is narcissism, egotism.

A seventh type of 'Love' is called, 'Mania Love.' This is obsessive love; generally mentally unhealthy; a disordered love which can result in severe codependency and jealousy.

The eight type of 'Love' is called, 'Agape Love.'  This kind of love is considered the highest form of love.  It is an all-giving, selfless love; the love of God for human beings and the human reciprocal love of God; a oneness.  It can be altruistic, the love for one's fellow human beings.  It is described in the New Testament and in many Christian aspirational settings.

"These eight previous types of 'Love' defined by the ancient Greeks have been embraced by writers through the millennia and are central to human motivation, and learning. 'Love' is an essential component of the "Armor of Light' and what it means to be human, made in God's image and likeness."

More Monasteries Devoted To Archangel Saint Michael - Part VII - Stella Maris Monastery In Haifa - Israel Christian Inspiration

 

Love monasteries? A link to Stella Maris Monastery  . . . 

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, we continue today with our conversation on the seven monasteries devoted to the Archangel Saint Michael.  What insight can you share with us about the seventh and final stop at the "Stella Maris Monastery in Haifa, Israel? 

"The main monastery of 'Stella Maris' is famous for being built over a cave of the Prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel and surrounding slopes.  The monastery is the home of Discalced Carmelite monks and dates back to the 12th century Crusades when hermits began to live in caves to imitate Elijah's holiness.  Legend grew among the locals that Archangel Saint Michael gave thunder to the Prophet Elijah during the fierce competitive mystical exchange with the prophets of Baal."

"The monastery was rebuilt several times with the current edifice dating to the 19th century.  The latin name, 'Stella Maris,' translates to "Star of the Sea" with devotion to Blessed Mother Mary (Our Lady).  Pope Gregory XVI in approximately 1839, granted the title of Minor Basilica to the sanctuary."

"This wraps up our tour of the seven monasteries in the 'Sword of Archangel Saint Michael" (see previous posts for the other six stops across Europe)."
