Memory’s Constant InterJection | Reflective Interplays With Redaction

Answering the Question - How Can We Believe, Without Seeing?

Poignant and Candid Talk.., Reflective Interplays with Redaction, untangles as well as interconnects the ideal of Sight, which is substantively beyond the act of seeing. We are oblivious to all that our eyes capture in every moment and second, of each day.
This Talk, simplifies the very complex activity of seeing, hidden in the normalcy of our eyes opening to a new day.  However, seeing is an inadequate description in the spectrum of vision science. Encompassing the scope of eyesight. relays of receiving and transmitting, perceiving and identifying and redacting, or editing, what is seen. However, one aspect which is often overlooked, but crucial is the interpretive functions associated with seeing, gaining ’insight.’ An underlying premise on which Jesus emphatically urges of men, so by seeing will begin to understand and believe. (Mark 8:17-26, New International Version).

Talk Mentions: Christian Hymn, “For Every Mountain” by Kurt Carr and  Kurt Carr Singers. Also, U.S. Presidents; Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and John F. Kennedy. Also, The National Anthem of the United States of America, “The Star Spangled Banner,” by Francis Scott Keys, 1814.  Also, World Leaders; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; and Mahatma Ghandi. And 1st Century Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar.

Hello,

Thank You For Listening to Podcast Radio - Let’s Have Talk.., Reflective InterPlays With Redaction

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 0:45

this is Vicki of You, Life and God Podcast Radio. And we're live. Let's have a talk. Hello. This is Vicki. Take my get my breath as we were ministered to by ministers of song. Maestro Kurt Carr. And we're very grateful for every everyone that allows the Spirit of God to use them. But it gives us an opportunity to reflect in a reflective mindset. Because I mentioned a couple of minutes ago that heard a young man that said “that I could cannot believe anything. Or any person that I cannot see”. And my friends, you can tell that touched me. And I pray it touches you and in touching that prayers are lifted up for whomever. That's what it's all about. Don’t know the individual. Because we know that God is so merciful. And he reaches out still. T he great hand of God. And the hand appears in a mighty different ways in you and I. So good morning. Thank you, God, for waking us up, and thank you for everything you've brought us through. This is Vicki, and this is You, Life and God Podcast Radio. Let's have a Talk, t has begun. And I believe it is top of the hour, close to 9 a.m. And my friends, wherever you are, in this world, God is sitting us down, of course. And often we're so busy. So when I say sit down, it's like take a seat! And then when God led us to say, let's sit down and have a chat, it's really to step out of the doing. The carnality in the flesh and the comforts of doing. When we think God's or what we think God may want us to do, so that the emphasis of his Spirit not only makes us think, chat, and want to know a little bit about what that is, but it also brings us into one. So that oneness, hello, friends, and Tanzania and Sudan and Turkey and Ukraine and China and Korea, and London and France, and the United States, and hello Brazil and Peru. Praying that this program and this talk show, which has connected us, and we are hearing what God has to say to each one of us collectively and individually on this day. To continue on with our transitioning, thinking about, and I'm very grateful that the opportunities of hearing the doctrines of the specifics based on the Bible of what things are, what the truth is based on what God says in the Bible, and laying it out. And this chat and this talk is growing us up, making them alive, as the word does do, amen.

- People Whose Works are Remembered for Centuries.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 5:58

And in that, this time in this age, thinking about, to walk us through our chat today, a talk, and the prophet Isaiah mentions and points to us today. As a matter of fact, we see Moses and Elijah and David's work, Abraham's promise. And then we see things like Jefferson and Caesar, the great Caesar, and then we see Pontius Pilate. Then we see Jefferson and we see Lincoln then we see Jefferson Davis and we see Gandhi and we see Martin Luther King and we see Kennedy. You know their works though they were accomplished at a point in time, they will be finished in us. Reflect on that. Their works and their sacrifices will be finished or be made manifested in the generations of humanity that are sitting and hearing today. What a huge point in time, my friends, that we are in, that God says that for us to be in this point in time. Whether his hand is reaching out to us or He's letting us know what we do and what not to do, and what it really is to be a disciple, a learner, and then of Jesus Christ, who have accepted God's outreach hand of life, which is his grace. But those individuals that God has sent along the way, who have had great works in advancing humanity, to a place, and that place is today. And Isaiah says, “in that day the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the blind may see through obscurity, and out of darkness. And connecting to, that is to see a man who says, I will not believe, or cannot. In all things, then is possible. Cannot believe what I cannot see. And why it touched me so was at a point when God was preparing my heart for this talk this morning. Hello, my friends. It is a good day because God has stepped in. Amen. And our hearts are full and our thoughts are on him. So Isaiah walks us into saying, Well,” the deaf will hear the words of the book, may hear it and then see out of obscurity. Through obscurity and out of darkness.

- Science of Seeing, Memory’s Constant Replaying and Editing of What We See.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 10:20

Man what a day, it is. Because at this time, in transition of what was and what is to be, sits us. The intersection of something so very important. And that intersect and that intersection reveals a whole bunch. Amen, my friends. So how many just think about? As we lead into our talk, think about a significant event. A significant event in which it was either difficult or so memorable that your mind keeps going back there. Think about that event. And in thinking about that event, think about every time you go back. Does that memory get bigger or smaller? Does it get? Are there events or instances in the events? Are specifics in the events and which it changes a little bit. It's changed either, oh, I don't remember seeing that, or I don't remember that happening during that time, or it becomes less important. Every time, whether it's a difficulty, are you accepting that difficulty? Are you in reflective mindset? And the moment is to get us to a point of connecting what we see and experience to what we actually believe occurred. Amen?

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 12:38

And it's interesting because a couple of years ago, and um I had and I really like, as I had shared before, and I thanks be to God to give me an opportunity of going and perusing older books with original, don't like the dust though, but with the original binding that encompasses um writings and literature of uh way back. I ended up uh preparing for a research paper. And in that research paper that I thought I was going to write, I was looking for books specifically about the mind, the organs of the body, and thanks be to God I did. Was able to obtain one that had pictures, and we'll continue on, pictures of the anatomy of the body, and the anatomy of the body, a lithographs and specifics on this great design that is so ingenuous, the great design that God has delivered and designed in each one of our bodies. So the design is more than what scientists have actually grasped, in spite of technology, in spite of God revealing certain things along the history of humanity. The design of God, like I said, no one yet knows where the soul resides. Amen. So the design of God, of the human body, is so fascinating and so full of great wisdom of the connection of things that are normal to us in daily living, that are so complicated in the development of us as in character and person. And but when we are allowed to get into the things of what the Bible says regarding, like Isaiah saying, the deaf will hear the words of this book. Now, how does that happen? And the blind through obscurity and darkness, will see. This is when we begin to understand what God is saying outside of the religiosity that we become comfortable in doing. And it's not saying trying to, it does not infer that we become or try to become God. What is implying is look at what God, look at what you are, look at what we are, this magnificent creature that God took delight in when He created us, and we take for granted when we have it, and don't really know how magnificent it is, God said it's good. However, and not to get in scriptures because they of course our talk is biblically based, so we can grow up in one knowing how magnificent this body is.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 16:57

So I got the book, and in the book I go to where I left off when I was preparing for it. God had it for this particular talk, and I began to study more about the eyes, the mind, and we talked about the ears, and it was based on my study several years back from this book and other research things, amen. And in doing so, God uh, amen, God had revealed not only scriptures lining up so that someone like myself could understand. But looking at today and the technology, and my friends, if we ever have any androids, we ever have any robotic beings which we are playing with now, so magnificent is our design that those robotic beings are mimics of our behaviors, our reactions, and our thoughts and our thinking and our sights, and also the mindset. Though those yet have not, thanks be to God, found the supremacy or the improvement upon the mind. Some want to do, and history along the way always try to improve upon the magnificent creature God designed. Amen. We can chuckle on that. Many try to improve upon us. Oh, yeah, we come with much in this world. We're sent through a world and we come with much hurts and pains, but then God, that's how we become children of the Most High God with resiliency, strength, and in the knowledge that God is one.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 19:07

So our talk this morning is reflective interplays with redaction. Reflective interplays with redaction may sound very deep, but it really isn't. Because what it is, it explains what happens of what we see and what we think actually happened. And what it means is that every time you think of something, your mind, your eyes are going back. By the way, ophthalmologists, the only way they can clearly see your live blind without cutting is through the eyes, the brain. Without cutting is through looking through the eyes, and they see a certain portion of the blank brain. The eyes are receptors. We think the eyes see. The eyes are receptors, they receive images, they receive light. And of course, there's psychologic, they're scientific and medical terms to go along with this, but for us, reflective to know this, we're getting to a point, amen, and I'll give you an example.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 21:08

I'm gonna take us back to technology in the early 60s because industry and after the Great Depression, the uh industrial age just happened so quickly, and everybody was moved into the automation of of um machine, a machinery, but then we got into a quicker age, we have 40 years or 30 years, it it happens, into and at that time we got into the television. Now, this is a brand new first. We had the light bulb occurred, and uh uh we stopped cooking over fires, and we had the oven, and then we had um many things that was not where when I time when I was born, but we had many things that uh God began to make life supposedly simpler, but it did it connect us, you all, and so what happened was we ended up having these devices, huge devices, in which we found out from uh the lens of the eye, came up with the camera, and from the camera we came up with photography. From a top, we became we came up with movies, and with the movies we ended up. Upcoming and designing and creating televisions. But initially the movies and the televisions were grayscaled. Now this is connecting us to how great this thing about seeing, which is an action. Right? Friends, to see is an action. But then was Isaiah really talking about physically seen? So this great thing with the eyes. We had the grayscale black and white televisions, my friend. And this is around the time I was born, towards the end, before they would come in and out and make all kind of noises I hear. But uh very difficult to see the images, but it got better. Man developed greater, enhanced the technology. So looking at go back with me, friends, if you were there, and look at a black and white television and see, even look at the black and white movies that they have not gone back to colorize. If you see that and you look up in the and the the the uh camera goes up into the sky. Now it's black and it's and white, meaning that it's it's framed in the colors of black and white. Though white is absence. Well, in this case, they use light and darkness to capture the 3D dimensions of objects in order for the images to be real, and that's exactly what the eye does uh as it transmits the brain, it takes the the the photogenics of the eye, photogenics of the transmission, and the brain interprets what the image is, right? So that's why when you have somebody say, Okay, remember, and you start looking back in your eyes. Did you ever think, why do I look back when I try to think, why am I using my eyes to do that? It's because it's connecting to our memory, everyone. I hope you're you're still with us. And again, Isaiah says, in that day, those who are deaf will hear the books of the word, and those who are blind will see through obscurity and out of darkness. And then so the black and white television, as we're walking through our talk, God is sitting us down, really under getting us to a point, everyone, and I'm very excited this way. We're doing it. Um, and so he says, okay. So you look at the television and it looks up to the sky. Now the screen is black, but what do you think? I mean, the screen is in a great monotone scale, what they called black and white. What do you think your brain transmitted when you looked at the black and white? Initially, I perhaps perhaps they looked at it black and white. But I have to tell you. The brain interpreted sky. And though you're looking at black and white, the brain interpreted sky. Meaning in the blue sky, the sky is not black and white. We began as children looking at a campfire and knew that it was fire, not a black and white. The brain interpreted fire, meaning hues of orange and yellows and bright reds. Are you following me now? The brain interpreted the actuality of the person. As a matter of fact, when looking at certain characters in the movies, you would look to see if the hair, the the your eyes would scale, the features, and your brain would interpret what nationality, what that person was. Light hair, your brain would interpret. Was it black or blonde? Isn't that something that God has in the forefront of our brains? Organs that transmit what we believe is reality to our brain, and our brain receives it as such. But then we keep looking back and what did I really see there? The brain begins, your eyes and your memory began to redact. And it continues on. Redact means edit, show more, reveal more, because it actually, your eyes actually captures what is.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 29:50

But then he grows us up spiritually, connecting us to one another. And to be honest with you, if you really think of America has this song that says, “Star Spangled Banner,” and it says,” Oh, say, can you see the Star Spangled Banner?” And it's taking you to a point in history of a revolution. Can you see it? The star spink sprinkling at the the the the fire of ammunition? Oh say can you see? So that's our question for us today. Can you really see when God says Jesus says I come in judgment that the blind may see, and they that seek may become blind. And then reflective redactive, reflective interplays of redactive means. And I really feel this in the spirit that we're thinking of scenarios, and I hope so, because this is what happens as those who all over the century of humanity have sacrificed to get us to see and seeing not only believing, because we walk not by sight. That does not interplay with faith. Faith is believing what you can't see. But God wants us to see. Jesus even said that. That seeing you may see, hearing you may hear. And those things are definitions of the act of hearkening and not just doing but becoming. And spiritually seen is without eyes. So it has nothing to do with the physiology of the body, it is a spiritual work, y'all. Isn't that something? So I have to tell you as we walk through, as an old say, can you see? As we walk through, and in the television, I have to tell you also, we gotta color television, and because we thought uh, I believe that the technology made the television color, the actuality was that it was true, but it could not colorize the old black and white television shows. So after seeing the new ones that were in that were in uh filmed in color, when we got to uh an old television show that was still in black and white, we're like, why isn't it in color? And that is life, right? Once we think something has happened, we then say, then why isn't all of it this way? And in being mindful of the fact that we have growing up in this transition, God says there is a reflective interplays with redaction tMeaning after a while, when something is very painful, sometimes with our correcting and trying to heal ourselves, we begin to think it really didn't happen. There are many horrific events in history, and which not only when the babies were beaten were killed out of Egypt, but we saw see horrific mass killings in many areas along the way. And those things sometimes the reflective interplays of painful events, whether it happened to us or we sat and looked and watched and did nothing, and began to take that thing and believe it really didn't happen. That's reflective interplays with redaction, meaning that we began to take what we think we saw and then over and over again edit it, edit it, edit it so then we can Cope. I have to say, my friends, we all of those individuals who have sacrificed and many more over the years, the will of God to bring forth a people, a nation, is advancing the whole civilization of humanity and the world to this point in time. And so that reflective interplay with redaction, God says no more. For Jesus says, He prays that in having ears that here we begin to hear, meaning hearken, behold, and take that thing that Jesus has given us, and let it as a seed and grow up and manifest in life in us, and seen that we see not with the physical eyes that have a relationship with anything, with things that we think we can't cope or don't have anything, no power to do anything about it. Here we sit in a transition of what was and what is going to become, and God says there is an interplay of what you see within us, it is always correcting what the mind really captured, so then you may either tolerate, cope, or ignore. And my friends, we can't do that anymore. For the children of God, raise up in prayer, raise up in the knowledge spiritually that God is almighty, raise up in the knowledge that vengeance is the Lord, and he will recompense.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 37:58

And also growing up, that God’s judgment is righteous. God is righteous. When he steps up, everything has to line up with righteousness. Everything. And what happens when it doesn't? God's righteous judgment will occur. Children of God rises up in the most difficult of time through the strength of God. When we think God has stepped in, well, guess what? When he steps in, it is to move, destroy, just like storms. When he steps in, he reveals that thing. And my friends, we've been quieted by what we've seen recently in the spirit realm. And let's now look spiritually and ask God to reveal this thing. And there is a scripture that says, judge nothing before it's time. And in judging nothing before it's time, you sit back and say, Oh, I think I saw. Did this really happen? And God says, judge nothing. Paul wrote this, as a matter of fact, Apostle Paul. Judge nothing before it's time. Let God reveal what that thing really is. Meaning you say yes or no to it. It's a good thing or a bad thing. That's the judgment. And does God reveal? And so our spiritual minds continue to speak with God. What is this, God? Even though we don't hear ourselves audibly, we have to grow up to that point where we're in constant communication with God. And guess what? When we think we have to do, like um, and again, doing is the will of God. But if we think I look at this scripture and it says something, and then I go about doing it, if it hasn't grown up in us. Really, man, it it almost as if it has no effect. So everything we do, we want it to be in the Spirit of God. Because the Spirit of God touches reaches and places we cannot see. So, God says we've seen something, and it's quiet in us. Prayer and supplication. Because in this, and we are concluding now. I don't know how long the conclusion is, but we thanks be to God. Because in a reflective redaction, reflective interplays of redaction, we can we can really think our way and see back in our eyes until something never really happened. And there's some significant, horrific events in which over time peoples have begun to believe it really didn't happen. Though it must surely do. It is time now to have eyes that see spirit. And it cannot be my flesh entering into some spiritual realm. It is only by the Spirit of God. Amen.

- Jesus Gives Sight to The Blind, and Blinds those Who Think They See.

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 42:05

So Jesus, nearing the end of his ministry, and this walks us through so we will know a little bit uh understand a little bit of the conversation and understand our Lord and his work, and sometimes the tone and the voice, sometimes we can fail the tension or that the disciples and his followers really didn't see. And and it's so great spiritually when we when the Spirit of God is ministered to us in the scriptures that we actually get the tone of the narrative, etc. So, Mark chapter 8. Now we know that Mark, Jesus, actually, uh his accounts, gospel accounts, a witness of Jesus' works, were emphasized based on his authority. Based on his authority over things like the demonic, the underworld, authority of healing, of what nature epsoG and things like that. So here he is. He's nearing the end of his ministry, and in the ministering, he has a huge following now. Just because people follow, we pray we believe. They believe. But the Pharisees followed, and they did not believe, and their eyes looked at what he didn't do or what he wasn't, based on their own belief of what he should have been. Amen. And that's why we judge nothing before it's time until God reveals it. There were many like the Pharisees. God called uh Jesus called them vipers, snakes. Looking around. There are always some like that, amen. But then these snakes quieted us, everybody, instead of everyone standing up, the believers in God and the Lord who sent his son for us. And knowing how mighty God is, that our God is mighty. God, you're doing something, reveal it to us. And we praise him for his mightiness and his great works on the earth. And we think God only steps up, and there's good things. Au contraire, my friends, God has to correct righteousness. Steps in. You see the ugliness before the goodness, that's because he's moving all that out and judging. And his righteous judgment is being in effect. That's why we are friends. So we're in our friends, it should not quiet us by what we see, and we should not have any kind of redaction, interplay with what we think happened, but as God in prayer and supplication. So Jesus nearing his ministry, the end of his ministry here on earth. And at this time, he knows what he's facing, but he still has his disciples. And there's still events for the glory of God that needs to happen. And he walks in, and he and there's many things that happen. He feeds the multitude, and uh, and then uh an event happened, and it's very interesting. Read the scripture on that, and as God leads you, but this is when he's nearing, and there's a tone where you can see that they're first they're not getting it, and they're looking and focusing on the works of God, of Jesus only, and he's speaking to them by the Spirit of God, he understands, right? So there are times where he becomes um very stern in his language and in his tone. So he feeds the multitude. Jesus is teaching a huge crowd. They're sitting there based on the narrative three days listening to Jesus teach. Jesus says they're hungry. What do you have so we may feed them? He prays. They have loaves of bread. Seven and some few small fish. They feed the multitudes, and there are fragments left, and the disciples gathers them. Then here comes the Pharisees with a doubt. Isn't that like everybody that's around you? Oh, you really don't believe because you don't do this. Oh, you think you're this, oh, you think you're that. Oh, but be not dismayed, my friends. Because the joy of the Lord takes us through, and we understand. And that Spirit says, Help, Lord, for them to come in and understand that we've been taken out of that. It's a mystery, and we now stand in something that's opposite, stand in the realm and the power of the supremacy of God in Jesus Christ. And it cannot be comprehended, nor comprehend mean see and understand by those that are outside. They can only look in a what appears not. So that gives us a heart thing of compassion then, if we begin to understand that. And as we conclude, so the Pharisees come and tell Jesus what he doesn't do and what he's not, and they pass along to another city, and Jesus says, watch out. Watch out for leavens the whole not. Watch out for things like yeast. I can conclude yeast for leavens the whole lot in this particular case for uh distinction for negativity for sin for distraction a little bit leavens the whole lot and do you know what the disciples ended up asking? And Jesus walks away. And they thought they were talking about the fact that they didn't have any bread, because they went to another place, had no more bread. And Jesus says, You yet don't understand. Because they were looking at all his works and not seeing that this is God. Look at the fact that he fed four thousand with a few false small a few small fish and loaves. Several loaves of bread, my friends. And so it gets to the Pharisees, of course, bring someone that's blind blind. Jesus takes him out of the city and then he uses the holiness of his pill, puts it in his hands and touches the man's eyes. And then Jesus asks him, What do you see? And at first the man looked and said, I see men walking as trees. And that's that physical imaging, right? That there's a distortion in the receptives to the mind of what actually what reality is, my friends. And today that's where we are, the receptive of the minds and what we're actually receiving and seeing. And what is that brain actually communicating that we saw in three-day imaging? And then, my friends, Jesus knowing the truth and knowing the circumstances, even though we shall be like trees planted by rivers of water. So if you want to go there a little deeper, perhaps he will. In conclusion, as with Jesus speaking to the man, whose eyes were a little bit unclear as to what he really saw after Jesus hilt. After Jesus touched, and we really think what we what really is of this thing walking with our Lord and Savior here. The Lord touched us and see what it is. Have we redacted and edited what we see so much? Now walk and do and think that's what it is. A A

- Insight of Faith, Gaining Understanding and Believe!

Host, Vicki L. Thompson 52:31

And in conclusion , what the Lord said to the man, and he touched, and it is our prayer now. God touches those if it's you that needs another touch of the Lord, that the Lord reaches hand and you see it touch. For those who have believed that that Bible is history and it's nothing about doing and not doing, pray that your Spirit of God touch. And then what is interesting, because God and our Lord is always there, my friends, reaching out for us, as they say, for every mountain, he's always great as his mercy, he's always taking us through and taking us out. Jesus turned around and touched him again, and then as he says to the man, he says to us, turn around, go back and look again. Go back and look again at what you think that thing is today, man. If you think it is real, go back and look again because God has stepped in and righteousness has stepped in. When God steps in, go back and see that thing again and see what God is doing. Let not nothing that we perceive, we see with the natural eyes convince us and quiet us, O children of the Most High God. Let us now continue to pray and let us understand with compassion God goes back and touch because it is for us and because of us that others who are still our brothers, our cousins, our aunts, our uncles who say, I can't believe anything or any man that I cannot see. It is because we are at this point in time, God allowed us to be the intersection of what was and what is to be. It is because of them, my friends, and they gotta see us, no matter what color, no matter what nationality, because that is the hand of God reaching out to everyone, my friends. So until the next time, may God's blessings abound, my friends. Be blessed. Until then, we'll see you then, my friends. Until then, be blessed.
