An Alternate Interpretation

"There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." (Matthew 10:26)

I Believe there is a common misconception in most Christian minds that is easily remedied by this saying. This says to the people that are not so fond of conventional methods of reaching God, that you don't always need the clergy to point you in the right direction. By saying this to the people, Jesus was trying to convey a very important and basic truth of life that can be found in many religious beliefs.

"In the secret, in the quiet place, in the stillness you are there."

If you examine closely, the only way anywhere on this earth can truly be still and peaceful, is when it is perceived to be that way. God gave us our minds for a reason (no pun intended), and without them we would have no way of realizing how amazing this universe is. Stillness is the key, you are best able to find God and discover his "Unconcealed Secrets" when you are able to clear your mind of scattered thoughts and presumptions that society creates in all of us. If we are able to become like a child, we are able to learn the lessons he is always teaching to us.

"Why is the tao so valuable?
Because it is everywhere,
and everyone can use it.

This is why those who seek will find,
And those who reform will be forgiven;
Why the good will be rewarded,
And the thief who is cunning will escape.

Without the tao,
Kindness and compassion are replaced by law and justice;
Faith and trust are supplanted by ritual and ceremony."
(Lao Tzu)

We all need to examine and make sure that we are really hearing what Jesus had to teach and apply it to our daily lives. Most importantly, we must abstain from turning Christianity into another form of idealistic idolatry, which obviously wasn't his intention at all. He did not spend his time on earth preaching "you must bow to me, and I will save you." Rather he did say:

Look at what I can do. And know that these things, and more, shall you also do. For have I not said, ye are Gods?

I say to myself, If Jesus reaffirms that we are Gods as it says in the psalms, then it is within our power to make this life a heaven, lest we be deceived.

P.S. - This was for fun, please understand I don't take theism seriously. I'm an INTP for Christ's sake!
