Surrendering to the Unseen
As I pondered, "unseen force lodged within the unstable minds of men", my thought was that the phrase seemed applicable to everything pertaining to this physical world in which we live. It's amazing we've managed to come as far as we have since the days of Adam and Eve. Did we do it on our own? I don't think so. There had to be a solid foundation upon which we built our shaky walls. There had to be a foundation which remained after winds blew the walls away, fires consumed them, water swept them away--a foundation upon which man could depend while he rebuilt all which had been destroyed.
Who would qualify as such a foundation: a foundation with a stable mind, with the ability to know all, to foresee and address all impending crises? No human being is capable of satisfying this criteria. We have only one option which qualifies and that is an unseen, superior force. That is an Omnipotent, Omnipresent God. A living God. This is the foundation upon which we must stand and to which we must cling in order to survive in spirit and in truth.
"Seeking God is not just an operation of the intellect, or even a contemplative illumination of the mind. We seek God by striving to surrender ourselves to Him whom we do not see, but Who is in all things and through all things and above all things." --Thomas Merton.

I remember grandparents bemoaning the future of the world when left in the hands of the younger generation, I remember parents voicing the same opinion as they grew older. Now I am of the generation moaning about the state of affairs in the world. My brother sent me an alarming article talking of the world monetary system as being "underpinned and driven by an unseen force lodged within the unstable minds of men". --Brad Macdonald
