Imagine an ideal environment as you grew up that would have perfectly suited your ultimate well being, as well as allowing you to experience the greatest freedom and deepest joy possible, realizing the full depths of your identity, potential, and purpose. You are that environment. One minor thing is necessary: die to what you have made of yourself.

That is a bit too cryptic for me.

To me life is best when we can meet our day to day needs & still have time & effort left. Time to spend interacting with others in a meaningful way. Time & effort need to seek ways to make life easier & more fulfilling.

great, I understand that, you must loose yourself and your current identity and start all over again to enter this paradise, because you have poisoned yourself from this freedom by being influenced in a negative way by the world around you, so you are not truly you, only an image of yourself, smuged by the fingerprint of outside perception and influence.

I follow you in the scripture sense. I mean I understand what your saying. Do you know who Theophilus is in NT?

Ok, I can't wait. This name Theophilus is used first in Luke 1:3, when an angel came to Zacharia and Elizabeth regarding John the Baptist. This was before Jesus was born.
Theo means God in the Greek. -Philus means Loving. So Luke is referring to our Loving God Jesus Christ before he was born into the world.
In Acts 1:1, Paul reiterates this.
Did you know this??

No, but it seems right.
