“When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what IS man that Thou does take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than God, and dost crown him with glory and majesty! Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,” Psalm 8:3-6a
“Transposition is a way of life. All knowledge comes to us through a process of translating downward into code and then upward into meaning. – All communication, all knowledge, all sensory experience – all of life on this planet – relies on the process of transposition: meaning travels ‘downward’ into codes which can later be reassembled. We instructively trust that process, believing that the lower codes really do carry something of the original meaning.”*
With my creative license, I see that in the Garden of Eden a death of innocence – before the Fall “transposition” was not “alive” because God walked and talked with His children, who had intimacy with their Father-Creator. After however, the search for understanding and a return to intimacy with God continued till Christ made the way for us. But our understanding will always need the “translation’ by transposition until we rest in His eternity.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
