One of the characters in Apokalupsis is called Ariya. I just made up
her name. Somebody wrote in and told me it's a name in Thailandese and means
an enlighted person. I certainly do not understand Thai. I think that
a person who thinks himself "enlighted" because of something they know more
than someone else, is actually deluded. Real enlightment by the Holy Spirit
means seeing yourself as God sees you, realising one's faults and that God
loves you as you are - however - making one's effort to improve on them, etc.
It begins by God calling you, to repentance, etc, and then you have to make
your effort, your participation. We aren't robots of course, we have free
will, isn't that beautiful? It's our choice.
Everyone is called to this.
This is correct sense of that phrase which is much abused today by many.
APOKALUPSIS the science-fiction web comic book is (C) C. Meli 1998-2007. It is
a work of fiction and should only be taken as such (as entertainment).
Written, pencilled, scanned, computer-coloured and lettered by C Meli.
