h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sunday. Slept from 8pm to 9am. Tired out. Henry is here. Knackered. Don't feel like driving him back to Khayelitsha.

Phumezo read my piece on Enoch and pronounced it very good.

I need to get it out there.

Here it is, in case anyone else is interested:

Einennu ("He is not") Genesis 5:24

People often talk about giving up everything to God, but if you had given up EVERYTHING to God, you wouldn't know that you had, because you would have given that knowledge up to God as well. So as long as there is still utterance, there is still as yet unyielded self. God struck, dumb struck.

The life in God, as far as this world goes, is like Korsakoff’s syndrome, a sea of forgetfulness as everything is handed over for God to take. The yielded life is a life completely obliterated from the face of the planet. The yielded life is the annihilated life.

Of course your Christianity must go, but it rarely does, people hang on to it for dear life. Awareness of faith must go. Awareness of God must go, given back to God. Everything must be annihilated in an overwhelming fog of folly and unknowing. This is the “cloud of unknowing” and it cannot be faked. Few find it, and those who do are unable to report it because they do not know they have found it.

...because knowledge of having found it is itself given up to God. Where all there is, is a cloud of folly and nothingness, there is nothing but God. The nothingness of the fool is wiser than the highest wisdom. The one who is in God is he who knows not that he is in God.

All is givenness. Give God back to God.

...and people begin to disappear... vanishing into the fog of the folly of God... one by one they disappear without leaving a trace...




Enoch walked with God, and then he was not, because God took him

There is a state higher than walking with God. It is revealed in the word einennu which means “he is not”. To walk with God, is good; to be not, is better.

The only way to be not, is that God take you. You cannot will it on yourself. Not-being is pure gift. Unearned and undeserved. Based on God’s grace and not by works, lest any man should boast.

The only way that God take you, is that you walk with God.

No man can say, “I am not”.

OK I've made the tract. I've got 5 in the new series, but one of them isn't any good. Girl was round here, and we tried to get it on, but my heart wasn't in it and she asked her friend, "Uyindoda?" - I am understanding snippets of Xhosa here and there, more than I used to. So I have to work on the language NOW. Oh and I was instructed to tell Sethu, "Uligqirha".

Did another tract, no. 2, that I never bothered to format. I've got 4 decent tracts now: I think I might go to the print shop tomorrow and have them printed in bulk. I can pay Nolita to fold them.

Watching old episodes of House that I happen to have left over.

I feel a bit sick. I also cannot remember getting the tax discs for Daisy and Wilfie, and that is making me a bit paranoid. I don't know why I don't remember getting the tax discs. But I don't. No recollection at all. It's strange. I may have used alprazolam to ease any anxiety I may have been feeling. That causes blackouts. It's a bit eerie.

Well, I ought to get something done tomorrow, so I thought of going to the copy shop with 5 tracts and having a couple of hundred copies of each printed off. I've got one on tithing, one on freedom, one on Be Still and Know, one on Enoch, and one called "a future and a hope".

dic enim istae feminae Romanae quod ad me oportet eae venire celerissime, ut eae non obliviscer. I think anyway.
