Final Notice
Advice from Frank Hatch
(i.e., Advice from a Stranger)
I'll be using an "Advice" tab for a longer response than I've been giving in the
FAQ. However, I will continue to remove names and email addresses. I try
not repeat myself, so I use concise letters and questions that represent
numerous messages on the same subject. I don't pretend that my advice is
anything more than the advice from a stranger - so you must test it.
Best Regards,

When I received your Final Notice, I decided that it was yet another portion of
awful and insane Spam, with which the Internet is overfilled. However, later I
realized that the things you wrote are sometimes incredibly coherent with my
own situation. That is why I decided to write to you and ask about a very
important issue to which you paid not as much attention in your Final Notice
as it probably deserves. I mean the problem of choice between "more
adventure" and "more life". The references to Matthew 7: 7-14 and John 3:
7-21 seem to be very common; however, your ideas are rather complex, and,
to my opinion, they require more detailed (and, probably, case-based)
explanation. I think some people hope to read more about that in your
interpretation.
In Heaven, there is no problem of choice between "more adventure" and "more life";
you can't have one without the other. In the Open System of Heaven, you are being
offered the Peace and Joy that passes all understanding. You are not being offered
an escape from tension and stress; nor are you being offered the inner peace of a
Closed System (i.e., Death). Joy, play, and love maximize stress and tension; any
routine chore of Heaven quickly becomes a dance; and you learn a new dance step
with every new adventure. There is no life without growth; and there is no growth
without life. Mere repetition is not growth; mere Christianity speaks of real growth
and real life. You are being offered Eternal Life. You will not be bored.
When you approach the Narrow Gate, you will discover that the purpose of
tolerance is to maximize tension not to minimize it. With that discovery, you will see
the practical difference between Christianity and all the self-absorbed philosophies
and religions of the World. Indeed, you'll be able to see how the various Christian
denominations have compromised with the World Wisdom of seeking an escape
from stress and tension. Christ anticipated this error, so He commanded us to wash
each others feet. In this task, I don't think He wanted us to use a wire brush, but
some of us appear to need it. [Please Note: With the resurrection of the Body, this
tension between the Open System (infinite) and a Closed System (finite) must be
maintained; the only escape from this tension is Null Space. Check Reality
footnote.]
John (3: 6): "That which is born of the flesh is flesh [Closed System], and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit [Open System]." Risking a mixture of scripture
with philosophical jargon is not wise. Every demon in Hell is tense with the
expectation of easy food. When you wrote of the problem of choice between "more
adventure" and "more life", you were thinking of the risk of death in a good
adventure. Indeed, how could you have an adventure if there was no risk that it
might go wrong? I've begun this paragraph with a risk that makes death look like a
pin prick - I'm on an adventure.
I've given you no reason to believe me; so you must examine the situation by your
own case. Advice from a stranger: Don't limit your variables and don't limit your
dimensions; or you will lock yourself into an infinite loop. Infinite loops are grand
fun if you're working with subatomic particles, but it's not so much fun if you're
working with your own soul.
Now, if I were writing a treatise on Christianity, I would begin by dissecting the
references to Matthew (7: 7-14) and John (3: 7-21) to show how scripture was
common and my ideas were complex. But that would be a lie. My ideas are
childishly simple. It is scripture that is complex. It is scripture that should be used for
instruction. Not me. I'm not qualified.
If you have a question on scripture (or anything else), you should approach the
Narrow Gate with reverence and awe and ask the Lord God. ["our God is a
consuming fire" Hebrews (12: 29).] After the nonsense is burnt away, you will
discover that He loves you. He will answer your question.
