"What is, or who is, the Essence? Ever since the years of those great movies, The Ten Commandments, ….Ben-Hur, …..those years were followed by many years of trying to exclude Jesus, and though there is a resurgence of interest in Jesus, most often they are inclusive of who He is not. The popular Da Vinci Code brings disturbing light to that which has no light of truth. But even when truth is sought, tradition is such a powerful force …that when reckoned with, the disturbing result often brings people further away from the truth than when they were not seeking the truth at all. Most seem satisfied with some truth ….and do not want to challenge tradition, even when it is in error. The most disturbing is that it tends to bring them even further from the faith, and breeds doubt…so, that being the case, it would appear better to leave them in a less damaging state of ignorance, because the simple faith often has less complexities than simple truth detailed. It is therefore often best not to present the details when, with first presentation, the simple truth suffices to introduce He whom the relationship is to be established through; and where growth will be evidenced through the continuance of that relationship. It's these thoughts, among others, whose tendencies evoke hesitation on my part in sharing my story of the Essence; as it may likely be misread and misunderstood for its intent and content. So, to avoid adding to the confusion, I am opting not to pursue distribution or publication of this writing. What I, myself, do not fully understand …is, why have I hesitated so in the discarding of this piece? I must have not totally reconciled myself with it, for it still exists. Do I still have a future hope that it could perhaps somehow be read for its intent …which as time goes on, becomes a mere cloudy issue even to me?"
