Hi Seeker,
Perhaps they were still active in my subconcious mind. But I doubt that it was my own mind rationalizing the things I learned, because as I illustrated, the things necessary to rationalize those things, i.e. knowledge to even bring those things up in my mind, subconcious or otherwise, did not exist in my mind.
For instance, A thread above started dealing with something called the Montauk Project. Now if all of a sudden a few days ago before that post that information concerning it just started coming to me out of nowhere, I would have to assume it was from a higher source, because before that thread, I had never heard of it.
That is how I differentiate between what is from Jehovah and what is simple rationalization. I'm quite intelligent and can put 1 and 1 together and get 2 everytime (so to speak). I can look at a picture that everyone has looked at a hundred times and think they have memorized, and still point out something they never thought to look at. I guess I have what you call a SEEKING mind :-)
But that's where the difference lays for me. Simple perception of things and looking at it from all angles can bring new thoughts to something. But after I think I've looked at it from all the angles that my mind can comprehend, and all of a sudden something new comes up that is just beyond my comprehension, then I have to assume it is not from me, because I had exhausted all my possibilities already.
As I said it's difficult to explain. And even more confusing to read I'm sure. But I do know that there is a difference. I just wish I could find an easier way of explaining it.
Thanks for your response!
