Wayfinding

In our often too short lives, many are seen as having little worth, some even less than an animal, a machine, or, today, less value than Artificial Intelligence. It is no surprise that many now worry if AI could eventually make humans redundant and expendable. Can machines truly replace the role of all or most humans in the vast tapestry of the Universe? This raises an important question: What truly sets humans apart from everything else, including all that technology can devise?

Various worldly forces of manipulation, deception, and repression have sought to obscure the identity of God's wayward children. They insidiously and cunningly work to confine humanity to false identities, societal conformity, misguided hopes, fleeting dreams, and ephemeral desires. Jesus, the Liberating King, came to save every person from a fate of existential confusion and emptiness - an experience all too common among humans, given how the results of our labor fade from memory.

The Son of God became the Son of Man to show us the Way to discover our lost eternal potential. As the true Shepherd of Humanity, He offers to guide each of us to find and live out our true selves as pillars and priests of an eternal temple. This book illuminates how we can begin a journey to understand our universal human situation, reclaim our true identities, and understand our purpose as lost heirs of an eternal kingdom, beyond this fleeting world.

Eternity calls each person to become and remain a sanctuary for the Creator. Our Creator, Yahweh, designed each person to be a unique dwelling for the creative force that brought everything into existence from nothing. We believe Heaven offers us the chance to become more valuable than all the treasures of creation. He did this by creating each person in His image. On our wayfinding journey, we will explore the human quest for an everlasting destiny and purpose.

Together, let us choose to follow the Way. May we turn away from the shortsighted worldview and transient life paths of "Babylon." Let us leave behind the fleeting ambitions of this world. Instead, may we boldly embrace the freedom of our eternal calling in "New Zion"-the everlasting dwelling of God within creation. May each of us awaken from the "slumber" of vanity while we redirect our life path to becoming truly human from Eternity's perspective.
