Blessed and Holy: Understanding Them Better Through Exodus 34 (Total Wholes - Part 3 of 5)

PREFACE

Many people want to know what the meaning of holy is, because they are told how important it is to "be holy".  That desire to know or see something is invaluable.  It creates the opportunity to see something that has not be seen before or to see again something that has been forgotten. Throughout the writing of my blog, I have tried to help people see something that they have not seen before, but also to help them remember something that has been forgotten. 

My prime example of this is the theory that biblical holiness in its definition and at its core means "moral wholeness".  For most people that is an idea that is new to them.  To others, it is a reminder of what the 5 greatest church reformers of the last 500 years taught before the arrival of the 20th ct..  It is an idea that might shed light on what has been lost in the dark for the church and also might give salt to preserve what has not been preserved.

I would be nowhere today in either shedding light on what needs to be seen or in preserving what needs to be preserved without one very helpful tool in my toolbox.  It is the total tool that is at the core of everything that is communicated to me and that I communicate to others.  That tool I call the ARWAT (pronounced "Are What?") method.  It is an acronym for the first letters of each of the greatest aspects of the method I use.  I use it for everything now.  I never let my mind work without it, because to turn back to any of the methods that I used before is to risk damage to my mind. 

To work the mind without ARWAT is like the fictional Sherlock Holmes' comment that it is like an engine racing.  Like the engine that eventually explodes, so the mind eventually explodes without it.  The only other option for some is to simply turn off their mind.  ARWAT is based on common sense, so its proof is universal in nature.  But also it is capable of addressing the specialized sense needed for different kinds of work.  It deals well with both the knowledge of the common person and with the knowledge of the specialists. 

Part 3 of the 5 step process I use, is the most important step.  What you need to know is how I arrived at the concept of total with the 4 parts that combine to make the total, because you may fail to look at other things I have written to find out who the 5 T's work. 

Behind my 5 T's that focuses on relationships or transfers, is the ARWAT method that applies to persons and to being whole.

[ Still in construction due to an odd week of demands from my other work.  I hope to catch up some later this week.  Thank  you for your patience.
